Book Summary
A contemporary classic from a major writer of the Native
American renaissance, now adapted for film by Alex and
Andrew Smith, starring Chaske Spencer and produced by
Sherman Alexie
During his life, James Welch
came to be regarded as a master of American prose, and his
first novel, Winter in the Blood, is one of his most
enduring works. The narrator of this beautiful, often
disquieting novel is a young Native American man living on
the Fort Belknap Reservation in Montana. Sensitive and
self-destructive, he searches for something that will bind
him to the lands of his ancestors but is haunted by personal
tragedy, the dissolution of his once proud heritage, and
Montana's vast emptiness. Winter in the Blood is an
evocative and unforgettable work of literature that will
continue to move and inspire anyone who encounters it.
