Tayo returns from World War II to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation shattered. He is scarred by combat, imprisonment, and the rejection he faces at home. His path back to himself winds through ceremony, myth, and the land itself, guided by a medicine man whose healing is as unconventional as it is profound. Silko’s novel is widely considered one of the most important works in Indigenous American literature: a story of trauma, identity, and the resilience of culture.

“The novel is very deliberately a ceremony in itself—demanding but confident and beautifully written.”  – The Boston Globe

“Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony is close to what I would call sacred in fiction. There are not many books I would put in this category…What I mean by sacred when talking about this book is its singular devotion to knowing and gorgeously describing the lands it depicts; the way this book allows for its people to find new ways to heal from heartache and trauma in a broken and war-torn world.”  – Tommy Orange

Heads up: Ceremony contains heavy themes around post-traumatic stress disorder, war, violence, addiction, and racism.
