I just read a book by Jim Harrison, Returning to Earth. I recommend it, in a quiet way. It has a thread of native american traditions told by characters that aren’t that involved with it, or don’t fully understand, and that makes it interesting. Is this what it would feel like to be a Native American in the Upper Peninsula today? It also tells the story of a family in grief, and processing the before, during and after issues of a tragic illness and death. In some ways there is little drama, but the tone is interesting and calm throughout.
