Ceremony

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: Ceremony lives on its depictions of American Indian rituals, rites, beliefs and difficulties. In addition, the writing is very nature-focused. If that appeals, a wonderful work. If not, not.
Review: The difficulties of a war veteran returning to normal life is a theme that has proved rich, fertile, fecund. So many people, over the last hundred years, have had family members who returned from war - or didn't - or have themselves come back from...

a non-linear and highly crafted text

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2000
Review: A beautifully structured narrative that spans generations, all woven into the experiences of the main character, young Tayo. Although Silko's style can be a little difficult at first, its an enjoyable read even if one doesn't quite grasp at first...

Paperback, Ceremony
Tayo, a young Native American, has been a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II, and the horrors of captivity have almost eroded his will to survive. His return to the Laguna Pueblo reservation only increases his feeling of estrangement and alienation. While other returning soldiers find easy refuge in alcohol and senseless violence, Tayo searches for another kind of comfort and resolution. Tayo's quest leads him back to the Indian past and its traditions, to beliefs about witchcraft and evil, and to the ancient stories of his people. The search itself becomes a ritual, a curative ceremny that defeats the most virulent of afflictions - despair.
