"Demanding but confident and beautifully written" (Boston Globe), this is the story of a young Native American returning to his reservation after surviving the horrors of captivity as a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II. Drawn to his Indian past and its traditions, his search for comfort and resolution becomes a ritual--a curative ceremony that defeats his despair.

Ceremony
Aug 19, 2007

Pros: Interesting examination of a difficult time for a minority culture. Evocative 'nature' writing.
Cons: Caught up in the landscape, nature, organic aspects of the world.
Bottom Line: Ceremony lives on its depictions of American Indian rituals, rites, beliefs and difficulties. In addition, the writing is very nature-focused. If that appeals, a wonderful work. If not, not.

Pros: cultural, thoughtful, complex but works on an easier level too
Cons: some may take offense of white portrayal
Bottom Line: A good cultural novel as well as a tale of a man regaining his self-worth in a post-war situation and shunning setting.
