Silko, a Laguna Pueblo writer, is renowned for weaving Native American traditions and storytelling into her work. Blending history and spirituality, it unfolds as a rich, multi-layered narrative that spans continents and worldviews. Silko’s prose is lyrical, layered, and deeply symbolic, drawing on Native oral traditions and mythologies. The novel moves fluidly between narrative realism and dream-like sequences, creating a mythic atmosphere that deepens its emotional and cultural resonance.
