Crazy Weather

Description

Ursula K.
Le Guin selected Crazy Weather for her contribution to Pharos Editions citing Charles McNichols “offhanded skill| the ease with which (he) takes us deep into a complex society and the complex minds and hearts of its people.” In four days of “glory-hunting” with an Indian comrade| South Boy| who is white| realizes he must choose between two cultures.
Le Guin explains how she finds Crazy Weather to be “about a soul not at home and not at peace: South Boy| who on the verge of manhood is living in and between two worlds| without a clear way to go in either.” Crazy Weather is a unique tale of American identity that serves as “an important document in our cultural history.”
