The Beadworkers: Stories by Beth Piatote

4.0

This collection of short stories, poetry, verse, and even a play shows the author's strength of connecting themes of Native Americans past and present. I particularly enjoyed Antikoni which is a reframed version of the Greek Drama, Antigone, but set in modern times. She crafted the plot in a creative and intelligent way showing how family and traditions are sometimes above the law. I didn't enjoy all of the stories as much as this one, but I will be excited to read more by Piatote.
