Synopsis
James Welch, son of a Blackfoot father and an A'ani mother, was an important Native-American writer. His novel WINTER IN THE BLOOD helped dispel the mythology surrounding the lives of American Indians. The novel's 32-year-old narrator lives a fairly simple life on a Montana farm with his mother--a bar fight and a one-night-stand are some of the more exciting plot elements of the book. But in his highly individual perspective on American life, he subtly undermines the lofty notions of a nation based on greed and domination. Still, WINTER IN THE BLOOD is no polemic. Its narrator is a troubled man, a heavy drinker haunted both by history and his family demons, and his slow movement toward redemption is humorous and tragic by turns, but always compelling.

Publisher's Note
The author of Fool's Crow and Indian Lawyer presents an extraordinary, evocative novel about a young Native American coming to terms with his heritage--and his dreams. "A nearly flawless novel about human life".--Reynolds Price, New York Times Book Review.

Industry Reviews
"His first novel' Winter in the Blood', and his second, 'The Death of Jim Loney', provide steady and penetrating looks at young Indian men whose spiritual blight and psychic paralysis are not confined to reservation life but are universal in their nature and causes."
Civilization - Reynolds Price
