NY, Longmans, Green, 1934. His second book, and only novel, a novel of the American Southwest. The first modern novel by an Indian writer to deal directly with questions of "Indianness," the alienation from culture and self provoked by white men's education, and the futile attempt to become assimilated into the dominant culture. Inscribed by the author on publication day, November 7, 1934, in Oklahoma City to an Oklahoma City bookseller, "with pleasure." A near fine copy, lacking the dust jacket. [#002507] SOLD
