VIZENOR, GERALD Landfill Meditation
Wesleyan University Press, 1991. Trade Paperback. Good. Cover edge wear, shelf wear. "In these fourteen stories Gerald Vizenor leads his crossblood characters out of romantic thickets into a new tribal world of psychotaxidermy, laser holograms, and urban ceremonies. Dancing with tricksters, animals, and language is never dangerous in this collection. With the comic pleasures of tribal tricksters, Vizenor's fantastic characters arise from the burdens of racialism and noble savagism. Martin Bear Charme, in the title story, owns a reservation and conducts seminars on refuse meditation, pantribal fantasies, and animal languages. He restores the sublime connections between the refuse and the refusers, and earns a fortune at the same time. Almost Browne, another crossblood transformer, was born in the back seat of a hatchback, matured with computers, and projects laser demons over the reservation. Other crossbloods win a summer ice sculpture contest, own sovereign sections of interstate highways, and discover instant coffee.". Acknowledgments; Almost Browne; Feral Lasers; Ice Tricksters; The Red Coin; Pure Gumption; The Last Lecture; Bad Breath; Landfill Meditation; Interstate Reservation; The Psychotaxidermist; Rattling Hail; Crossblood Coffee; Four Skin Documents; Luminous Thighs.
