The Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece set against the landscape of the American Southwest.
'Superb' New York Times

A young Native American, Abel has come home to New Mexico from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his grandfather's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world - modern, industrial America - pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, claiming his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and despair.

An American classic, House Made of Dawn is simultaneously a tragic and hopeful tale about a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.

N Scott Momaday (1934-2024) was a Kiowa novelist, poet, painter and teacher. His novel House Made of Dawn was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1969, and is considered the first major work of the Native American Renaissance. In 2004 he was appointed an Artist for Peace by UNESCO for his outstanding achievements as a writer and painter, and in recognition of his actions in support of the restorations and preservation of Native American heritage and cultural traditions. Momaday received the National Medal of Arts in 2007 for his work's celebration and preservation of indigenous oral and art tradition. He held numerous honorary degrees from colleges and universities, and was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
