Laughing Boy: A Navajo Love Story

About this book

Capturing the essence of the Southwest in 1915, Oliver La Farge's Pulitzer Prize-winning first novel is an enduring American classic. At a ceremonial dance, the young, earnest silversmith Laughing Boy falls in love with Slim Girl, a beautiful but elusive "American"-educated Navajo. As they experience all of the joys and uncertainties of first love, the couple must face a changing way of life and its tragic consequences. First published in 1929, now public domain. ''Laughing Boy'' is a love story haunting in its poignancy, the story of a Native American culture struggling to survive amid the corruptions of an alien civilization. Above all, the story of Laughing Boy and Slim Girl penetrates to the very core of the Indian psyche and lifestyle, a portrayal that reveals a passionate but gentle, savage but sympathetic world. Set in the untamed Navajo country of the great Southwest, ''Laughing Boy'' is a timeless American classic like no other, the greatest novel yet written about the original American.
