Title: James Welch's writing is fine art.....
Review: I am an absolute fan of the Western as a portrayal of a physical as well as a psychological frontier.James Welch's novel "The Heartsong of Charging Elk," transports the reader into an extraordinary human situation to feel human upheaval of the indigenous people. Charging Elk, as if in a bad dream, finds himself a twice removed alien in an unforgiving, and less congenial society that seems to have no "Heartsong." I continued to hear a calling to inspect the roots of my learned cultural mores in contrast to a living consciousness planted in, and more akin to the earth.Highly, highly recommended! A keeper to live on my bookshelf, share, and re-read.
