{"product_id":"storyteller-5","title":"Storyteller","description":"\"A rich, many-faceted book.\" -- The New York Times\n\nA classic work of Native American literature by the bestselling author of Ceremony\n\nLeslie Marmon Silko's groundbreaking book Storyteller, first published in 1981, blends original short stories and poetry influenced by the traditional oral tales that she heard growing up on the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico with autobiographical passages, folktales, family memories, and photographs. As she mixes traditional and Western literary genres, Silko examines themes of memory, alienation, power, and identity; communicates Native American notions regarding time, nature, and spirituality; and explores how stories and storytelling shape people and communities. Storyteller illustrates how one can frame collective cultural identity in contemporary literary forms, as well as illuminates the importance of myth, oral tradition, and ritual in Silko's own work. This edition includes a new introduction by Silko and previously unpublished photographs.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143121286\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0143121286.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Silko, Leslie Marmon\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
