![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis loves his wife Peta but also has some thoughts in the back of head about being the one who "ran off to marry a white girl." it seems a few of the characters have to try and exist in two worlds, the native american world and the white western world but not fully belonging to either. The elk headed woman is their guilt in physical form born from their guilt of breaking ties with their native american heritage and the culture of the reservationĬultural identity is explored in many interesting and different ways. I think the main themes of the story were cultural identity and generational trauma and guilt. Here are some of my thoughts on the themes and my take aways from the book. The end of the book dragged a little bit for me but it wasn't too much of a slog. ![]() At first I was a little on the fence about the way the big "show down" took place at the end of the book but I've since come around after sitting on it for a few days. I finished reading "The Only Good Indians" by Stephen Graham Jones a week ago or so and I'm curious as to what other people thought about it? I think overall I enjoyed the book and the story and the way it was told, I had to get used to the sudden shifts in character perspective in the middle of the action but once I adjusted it wasn't a big deal. ![]()
