I am going through this book much too quickly. In reading it, I have the strange sense that the author and I are friends in some parallel universe. Like her I am drawn to the west and to the native cultures that flourished there. Like her, I react in much the same way to our modern world. I like her humour. I like her offhand observations which are part of the book but more like asides to the reader as she takes a break from the narrative of her story, or stories. It is at once a biographyh of Edward Curtis, famous for his photographs of Native American Indians, and the story of hte narrator, who wrote a book about Curtis which is possibly going to be made into a movie. I am in the middle, where an odd case of mistaken identity is bringing an element of mystery to the book. What am I doing typing here when I'm dying to pick that book back up again? MOre later...
