The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative is a book that wound up on my library reserve list but I’m not sure how it got there. It feels like it was recommended on a blog but maybe not. I’m tempted to say TW reserved it from something that she read but it’s very much a “Denise” type of book so – who knows. However it got there, (feel free to jump in and take credit if you’ve blogged about it at some point in the last 2 months), I’m glad.
It is a very “Denise” book – I collect creation stories and there are some creation stories here. There are also some very excellent stories of other types, all about “Indians” or “Native Americans” or just “Natives” if you prefer. I love the way King starts every chapter in exactly the same way and ends each chapter in almost exactly the same way. Brilliant – particularly for a book about stories – and a book about truth.
