Book: House Made of Dawn
Author: N. Scott Momaday
Moderator: Bill Stirling, ACES trustee, former Aspen mayor, and book signing moderator for Explore Bookseller.
Meeting date: 6pm on Thursday November 17th
Bill's description of his selection: "...speaks to the issues of the changing West, the vanishing American hero, the importance of place, and the loss of the myths that made up, inspired and defined the Western landscape… Momaday is arguably the finest of the Native American writers, and this story is the classic of being torn between two worlds, especially Indian vs. Anglo, and progress, as represented by the new west as a commodity vs. a truly traditional way of life, perhaps no longer viable."
