Sweetgrass and Smoke
Sweetgrass and Smoke is
an experimental book that will interest all readers of Ernest Hemingway and
his relationships with Native Americans. The American Indians and the rich
descendants of English settlers cross cultural lines in the novel part of
this book that is set in the repressive Fifties in an exclusive resort town
in northern Michigan. This post-modern book also documents Ernest Hemingway’s
first love affair with an American Indian girl (Prudence Bolton). The background
material mixed into Sweetgrass and Smoke comes from such diverse sources as
Native American texts, prehistory theories, letters, newspaper clippings,
death records, and Hemingway biographies.
