Product InformationTayo, a young Native American, has been a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II, and the horrors of captivity have almost eroded his will to survive. His return to the Laguna Pueblo reservation only increases his feeling of estrangement and alienation. While other returning soldiers find easy refuge in alcohol and senselessviolence, Tayo searches for another kind of comfort and resolution. Tayo's quest leads him back to the Indian past and its traditions, to beliefs about witchcraft and evil, and to the ancient stories of his people. The search itself becomes a ritual, a curative ceremony that defeats the most virulent of afflictions-despair. {One Navajo family, on a New Mexico reservation, struggles to survive in a world no longer theirs in the years just before and after World War II.} CEREMONY A Penguin BooksPublished by the Penguin GroupPenguin Books USA Inc., New York, New YorkPenguin Books Ltd, London, EnglandPenguin Books Australia Ltd, Victoria, AustraliaPenguin Books Canada Ltd, Toronto, Ontario, CanadaPenguin Books (N.Z.)
