Touching the Fire Welsch, Roger
Random House 1992 0679408878 / 9780679408871 First Edition First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket Signed by Author
Rear panel of DJ has handling soil. It is in mylar cover for protection. DJ is price-clipped on the diagonal. Book is clean, with solid, squared binding. Inscribed and signed by the author on half-title page: " For R. C-- With the hope that there will be warmth and light at your fire, (s) Rog Welsch". . 1 x 8.5 x 5.75 Inches 270 pages Of Plains Indian people and their spiritual life, but skilled fiction writing still eludes him in his 16th book and second collection (It's Not the End of the Earth, But You Can See It from Here, 1990). The first of the seven linked stories takes place in the year 2001, when members of the invented Nehawka tribe outwit a racist museum director and retrieve their sacred Sky Bundle. The stories move backwards in time until the historic origin of the bundle, the symbolic objects it contains, and the sometimes otherworldly events they commemorate are all revealed. By the end, the logic-oriented reader is led to appreciate that cultural fragments strewn through the text may seem irrational taken out of context but, in fact, are meaningful and make sense. The opening pieces, concerned with contemporary political issues, are more problematic: characters rarely transcend stereotype, and affirmative endings seem forced-- as when a violent racist ex-drug-dealer turned bounty-hunter tracks down two young Indians who've jumped bail after an arrest for distributing sacramental peyote; exposure to their innate nobility and religious conviction transforms him; he helps them beat the rap, marries the young woman, and throws in his lot with the Nehawka.
