- W2261947208 abstract "Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead (1991) is a departure from the author’s earlier novel, Ceremony (1977), which garnered much popular and critical praise for its vision of a young veteran’s redemptive return to his Laguna home after experiencing the psychological traumas of World War II. Although Ceremony has come to be considered securely and rather seamlessly “canonical,” becoming a favorite in high school and college English classes, Almanac of the Dead, in its more than seven hundred graphic pages of drug abuse, violence, and wide-ranging settings and characters, has been less popular. Perhaps the most important distinction between the two texts lies in their differing structures, Ceremony following typical novelistic conventions, making it more palatable to an array of readers, and Almanac of the Dead literally taking form as an almanac, a format that is unusual and frustrating for some. Silko’s masterful experimentation with form is indeed an attempt to subvert readers’ expectations; in the words of the author, she wanted to write something that would “horrify the people at MLA” (Barnes 83–4)." @default.
