House Made of Dawn
In Momaday's first novel, Abel is a Jemez Indian returning to his tribe after World War II. An outsider among his own people because of his war experiences and because of the fact that he is the illegitimate offspring of a Navajo, Abel is humiliated at a ceremony, then he murders the man who offended him. After serving an eight-year sentence, Abel moves to Los Angeles, where he is confronted by the Reverend Tosamah, a Kiowa Indian based on a parodic view of Momaday himself. Tosamah proceeds to victimize Abel because he is a longhair--an unassimilated Indian. Abel is victimized in other ways in Los Angeles, and eventually returns to the Jemez reservation to bury his grandfather. Through the use of traditions from both Navajo and Jemez cultures, Abel is finally able to bring together the shards of his identity into a coherent whole.

A landmark sci-fi anime of intergalactic spaceship warfare, ROBOTECH was specifically created for American audiences by cobbling together three different Japanese series, one of which was MACROSS. Long available only in an English-subtitled version, MACROSS finally gets the deluxe treatment it deserves with uncut, digitally restored video and a surround-sound English dub that includes original voice actor Mari Iijima. This second of seven volumes continues the superb MACROSS redux with episodes 7 through 11.
