by SILKO, Leslie Marmon; Lee Marmon (photographs)
New York: Seaver Books, 1981. First Edition. First printing. Oblong octavo (17cm x 24cm). Cloth hardcover; dustjacket; 278pp; illus. Tight, unmarked copy, near fine but for some mild fading to board edges. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $17.95 on front flap); faint trace of rubbing to spine ends, but still a fine example. Silko's acclaimed third book, a blend of fiction, poetry, memoir and photography inspired by traditional Laguna Pueblo oral story-telling traditions. Most of the photographs are credited to Lee Marmon, the author's father. (Inventory #: 59671)
