Leslie Marmon Silko
Native American writer Leslie Marmon Silko is perhaps best known for her first novel, Ceremony (1977), a coming-of-age story about a young man of mixed Native American and white ancestry. Many of Silko’s works contrast the values of the white world with those of Native American tradition.
