Storyteller

by Leslie Marmon Silko

Leslie Marmon Silko’s groundbreaking book Storyteller, first published in 1981, blends original short stories and poetry influenced by the traditional oral tales that she heard growing up on the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico with autobiographical passages, folktales, family memories, and photographs. As she mixes traditional and Western literary genres, she explores how stories and storytelling shape people and communities.
