From the Inside Flap:
Of all of the works of N. Scott Momaday, "The Names" may be the most personal. A memoir of his boyhood in Oklahoma and the Southwest, it is also described by Momaday as "an act of the imagination. When I turn my mind to my early life, it is the imaginative part of it that comes first and irresistibly into reach, and of that part I take hold." Complete with family photos, "The Names" is a book that will captivate readers who wish to experience the Native American way of life.
About the Author:
A preeminent practitioner of twentieth century literature, N. Scott Momaday is perhaps best known for having blazed a trail for contemporary Native American writers. A Pulitzer Prize winner and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Momaday in many respects is a class unto himself. Momaday is Regents Professor of English at the University of Arizona. A popular speaker, he narrated the PBS series The West.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Photographic and Illustrations (illustrator). First Paperback Edition. geological chart and glossary. The text is illustrated with photographs and the occasional illustration. Photographic card cover with white coloured titles to the front panel and backstrip. "Momaday gives us a careful, beautifully thoughtful catalogue of the names  of both people and of places  that meant something to him when he was growing up. They help them to become reuse, and he repays them by a very lyrical, at times humorous, reminiscence of how it seemed to him at the time, when he lived with the names in the state of emotional innocence, not fully comprehending how densely textured traditions were, or how much they would contribute to the pattern of his life." Larry McMurtry, from the rear panel blurb. Creasing to the book corners with rubbing of the book edges and panel. Browning of the text clock edges. The text has been printed in a purple coloured ink on a pale yellow coloured stock.
