Beschreibung
Decades after its original publication, Ceremony remains one of the most profound and moving works of Native American literature—a novel that is itself a ceremony of healing. Tayo, a World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him. Masterfully written, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth, Ceremony is a work of enduring power. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition contains a new preface by the author and an introduction by Larry McMurtry.
Part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve influential and beloved American classics in a bold series design offering a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback.
Winner of the 2016 AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books | 50 Covers competition

Kraftvolle und beeindruckende Erzählung! Nach jedem Krieg unterzogen sich die Angehörigen Tayos Stammes einer Zeremonie zur Reinigung. Was passiert, wenn dieser Krieg vom Weißen Mann geführt wird (der die natives an der vordersten Linie verfeuert) und ob die uralte Zeremonie dann noch Wirkung zeigen kann, erzählt Silko in diesem Roman. Tayos Geschichte ist dabei eine Geschichte von kultureller Hybridität, jemandem, der zwischen den Stühlen steht und nirgendwo so ganz dazu gehören kann.
DNF because the book just wasn't that captivating. I didn't like the style of how it was written although the story did have a lot of potential. By the way, I sincerely think this book needs a trigger warning, the torture scenes are incredibly graphic and detailed. Honestly, I was not prepared to deal with this kind of thing and almost threw up. It is also one of the reasons why I did not finish the book, I was simply unable to proceed to read this. Additionally, I am kind of disgusted by the scenes with the Night Swan. I started to dislike Tayo's character mainly because of that scene. Like how can someone love his uncle and simultanously f*ck his uncle's lover. I am not okay.
