Saint Paul, MN: Graywolf Press, (1996) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Fascinating novel about a confrontation with the FBI on a reservation somewhere north of Denver. A mystery featuring an African American hydrologist who becomes involved because he gave a ride to Louise Yellow Calf, who was hitching on a deserted, snowy road. Interspersed with the story are quotes from old treaties and documents which vividly portray this country's racial history. A very different novel by this African American writer, who is not as widely read as he should be, although with the release of the film 'American Fiction' based on his novel, 'Erasure' and his highly praised new novel, 'James' that is finally beginning to change. All of his early books are hard to find in the original edition. SIGNED on the title page. 200 pp. ISBN: 1-55597-2373.
