Search in google:
D. L. Birchfield, a member of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma, has established himself in the last few years as one of Native America's brightest new voices. This first book of essays, chosen as co-winner of the prestigious North American Native Authors First Book Award, shows us why. These "Oratorical Choctologies," as the author calls them, range from the serious to the satirical, from incisive essay to poignant autobiography. Whether describing a landmark Native authors gathering or bringing the cultural and historical landscape of Indian Oklahoma into focus, his work is always intelligent, entertaining, and as sharp as the bite of the prairie winds.
