The Man Made of Words
N. Scott Momaday1997

In "The Man Made of Words" Momaday chronicles his own pilgrimage as an author, retelling, through thirty-eight essays, allegorical stories, and autobiographical reminiscences, how he became one of the first recognized Native American writers of this century. By exploring such themes as land, language, and self-identity, "The Man Made of Words" fashions a definition of American literature as it has never been interpreted before.
