Raves and Reviews

Tsoai-talee (Rock-Tree Boy) opens the book with a series of Camus-like dialogues between a bear and Yahweh, exploring matters of nature, longing, language, and hunger. . . . A selection of Momaday's poetry over the decades plunges readers into a mystical realm where boys become bears, and a bear is a man, and the man is Momaday.--Kate Nelson, New Mexico Magazine
