Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Bullet-shattered glass clatters onto his baby bed; he wakes and cries out into darkness. Does he remember this? Or remember being told? Regardless, he feels it, and will feel it again, bomb bay wind buffeting his eighteen-year-old body a mile above an old volcano's jagged debris, and yet again, staring at photos of Korean orphans, huddled homeless in a blizzard after a bombing in which, at twenty-five, he'd refused an order to join. It is through such prisms of the past that Ralph Salisbury's life unfolds, a life that, eighty years in the making, is also the life of the twentieth century. Winner of the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize, So Far, So Good is a sometimes strange, sometimes lyrical, and often humorous attempt by an inveterate storyteller to recount just things as they were. The survivor of a lightning strike, car and plane mishaps, explosions, bullets, a heart attack, cancer, and other human afflictions, Salisbury wonders: Why should anyone read this? The book itself resoundingly answers this question not merely with its sheer eventfulness but also in the prodigious telling. Salisbury takes us from abject poverty in rural Iowa during the Great Depression, with a half Cherokee father and an Irish American mother, through war and peace and protest to the freedom and solace of university life; and it is in the end (so far) so good. Recipient of the Rockefeller Bellagio Award in fiction and the Northwest Poetry Award, Ralph Salisbury's most recent books are Blind Pumper at the Well, The Indian Who Bombed Berlin, and Light from a Bullet Hole. Salisbury's thirteen books evoke his Cherokee-Shawnee-Irish-English-American heritage.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Son of a Cherokee-English father and an Irish mother, Ralph Salisbury grew up among storytellers and has shared his family's tales and experiences in seven previous books of prose and poetry. Now in Rainbows of Stone he returns with a striking collection of poems that interweaves family tales with personal and tribal history. Salisbury conjures images that define his life, from the vanishing farming and hunting traditions with which he was raised to his experiences in World War II as a member of a bomber crew. He writes of himself and of Indian people as Vanishing Americans--vanishing into the mingling of races--and sees himself as a pacifistic patriot concerned that we not continue the destructive reliance on war that marks our history. Writing as one who is "not part Indian, part white, but wholly both," Salisbury has produced a haunting, powerful work that expresses his devotion to the Cherokee religion, its fidelity to its forebears, and its harmony with the forces of Nature.For all concerned with ecology, social justice, and peace, Rainbows of Stone conveys a growing awareness of the world and a sense of how each individual connects with the universal and timeless realities of every other human being.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The Indian Who Bombed Berlin and Other Stories is a powerful collection of interconnected stories that follows Native men shaped by war, displacement, and the enduring search for belonging. Moving from childhood to military service to an uneasy return, Ralph Salisbury traces how racism, nationalism, and violence leave lasting marks on individual lives.Written in a lyric, fragmentary style, the stories reveal meaning gradually, through memory and moral reckoning rather than linear narrative. Salisbury's characters-many of them Native soldiers who fought for a country that marginalizes them-grapple with anger, tenderness, and the challenge of self-understanding in the aftermath of war.The haunting title story centers on a Native American academic in Germany confronting the weight of his wartime actions, a reckoning that echoes across the collection. With poetic precision and emotional clarity, The Indian Who Bombed Berlinand Other Stories offers a deeply human exploration of identity, responsibility, and survival, making it a significant contribution to American Indian literature and war fiction.…
