Exploring such themes as land, language, and identity, Momaday recalls the moving stories of his Kiowa grandfather and Kiowa ancestors, recollects a boyhood spent partly at Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico, and ponders the circumstances of history and Indian-White relations as we inherit them today. Collecting thirty-two essays and articles, The Man Made of Words attempts to fashion a definition of American literature as we have not interpreted it before and explores a greater understanding of the relationship between humankind and the physical world we inhabit.

I was disappointed in this selection, but think I had unrealistic expectations that Momaday would only write as an iconic Native American, not as a scholar or as any human. Therefore his essays on travel in other countries did not interest me, nor did his essays on the meaning and use of language. I most appreciated those essays with dealt with his childhood, his experiences with his father and grandparents. ( )
