Jim Kristofic: Reservation Restless, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

2021 Southwest Books of the Year Winner of the 2020 New Mexico--Arizona Book Award for Autobiography & Memoir

Jim Kristofic shares his story---showing us how to use old traditions to find new beginnings and a better way to live. In the author's own words: "Reservation Restless explores the borders of the world so one can arrive at their own center."

In the powerful and haunting lands of the Southwest, rainbows grow unexpectedly from the sky, mountain lions roam the desert, and summer storms roll over the Colorado River. As a park ranger, Kristofic explores the Ganado valley, traces the paths of the Anasazi, and finds mythic experiences on sacred mountains that explain the pain and loss promised for every person who decides to love. After reconnecting with his Navajo sister and brother, Kristofic must confront his own nightmares of the Anglo society and the future it has created. When the possible deaths of his mentor and of the American future loom before him, Kristofic must find some new way to live in the world and strike some restless path that will lead back to hózhó---a beautiful harmony.
