Becoming Coyote

By Wayne Ude

Book Overview

"Two reservation Indians get drunk, break into the Indian Museum, steal old-time costumes, weapons . . . and set off to hunt down a buffalo. Snook, chief of reservation police, and a deputy set out to run the pair down...Ude uses them [Coyote tales] with the skill of a neoclassicist drawing on Greco-Roman mythology to build a theme alien to the European mind, yet naggingly familiar at some deep level. The result is a kind of spiritual experience...Ude's character development is as leisurely and effortless as his pacing of the story... Becoming Coyote is recommended reading."--American Book Review
