I think everybody in America should read Leslie Marmon Silko

"What is it these ghosts want? They are still running away, thinking they are escaping slaughter. They keep traveling, but slower than when they were alive. They are just now reaching Tuscon as the water and the land are disappearing. Relatives already settled here had pleaded with them to flee Sonora sooner. Now the ghosts have come, and they want to know where the lake they were always hearing about has gone."

Silko's writing is like a spear through the chest.
