内容説明
The Dine, or Navajo, creation story says there were four worlds before this, the Glittering World. For the present-day Dine this is a world of glittering technology and influences from outside the sacred land entrusted to them by the Holy People. From the Glittering World conveys in vivid language how a contemporary Dine writer experiences this world as a mingling of the profoundly traditional with the sometimes jarringly, sometimes alluringly new.
""Throughout the book, Morris's command of a crisp unpretentious prose is most impressive...His style is so low-key that he hardly seems to be trying to be 'artistic,' yet the cumulative effect of these pieces is quite powerful. For Morris's beautiful descriptions of the remote Navajo reservation this book deserves to be on the shelf of anyone tracking the literature of the Southwest.""-Western American Literature
""Beginning with the Navajo creation story and ending with the summation of everything in between, Morris shows an incredible agility in jumping from truth to myth, from now to then, and from what is to what might have been.""-The Sunday Oklahoman
""In From the Glittering World, Irvin Morris has woven a wondrous and sometimes terrifying weave of stories centered in the Navajo experience. . . . Irvin Morris' strong style, his vivid imagery, his deft handling of complex structures, and his deep knowledge of Navajo tradition combine to produce a work as powerful and enduring as Leslie Marmon Silko's Storyteller and N. Scott Momaday's The Names. With From the Glittering World, Irvin Morris has joined the ranks of great contemporary authors.""-Telluride Times-Journal
