HIGHWATER, Jamake
Kill Hole
NY, Grove Press, (1992). A novel that continues with the character of Sitko Ghost Horse from his earlier young adult sequence, but which is apparently not aimed at a young adult audience; it is rather an autobiographical novel exploring the issues of ethnicity and identity that dogged Highwater both personally and publicly for many years. Highwater was either a con man or an "Indian wannabe" -- or both -- and his attempt at self-reinvention was met with skepticism in the Native American literature community, if not outright disdain. Inscribed by the author to Henry Kurth "with affection" in the year of publication. Spine lean; else fine in a fine dust jacket.
