Item Description
A copy of the book "Nancy Swimmer: A Story of the Cherokee Nation"
Nancy Swimmer will become one of twentieth century literature's most dynamic women. Clyde Bolton has created a voice in Nancy that speaks as powerfully as Sethe, from Toni Morrison's Pulitizer winning Beloved, or Charles Frazier's Ada, whose strength exuded from Cold Mountain, a National Book Award winner.
Clyde Bolton's writing has won dozens of awards, and Nancy Swimmer: A Story of the Cherokee Nation, is his best work. This can't-put-it-down drama allows the reader to feel Nancy's emotions as she becomes addicted to language (the history of the Cherokee writing and education is acurately told) and contributes to a newspaper circulated around the world.
Item Special Note
Rick Bragg, Pulitzler Prize winning journalist, writes, "As well as anyone (and better than most), Clyde Bolton can explain another culture - can wrap flesh and bones around an idea and make it walk and talk. Clyde does just that in Nancy Swimmer, the story of a Cherokee woman's life and times, when that nation was faced with losing more than its identity to the white settlers of the deep South."
