These impressive lists are followed by a key to the locations of special collections and archival material important for the study of Momaday's work. The secondary mode of organization beneath each of these headers is by year, allowing the researcher to see how each work develops from the last. Each entry is also given an accession number, enabling multiple means of navigation. Most bibliographies are not page turn-ers. They often present themselves simply as functional tools, as a means to locate a citation or a list of suggested referrals. While this volume will successfully serve those purposes, equipped as it is with an analytic table of contents and a carefully constructed index, it also exhibits cursory flow. It carries the voice and presence of its subject, as well as the voice of the bib-liographer. Morgan infuses her checklists with opinions on each item's place within Momaday's oeuvre. Alongside details of the contents, form, and quality of each printing and information about each work's subsequent iteration in the world of reprints and anthologies, Morgan briefly positions the way Momaday's work has been received, and, where applicable, she relays Momaday's own contextualization. The third section, an annotated bibliography to works about Momaday, is similarly impressive and similarly organized. It covers book-length treatments, scholarly criticism in journals, coverage in magazines, the multimedia press, the coverage of Momaday in reference sources, and a list of dissertations and theses. The value of these online and print references is found in Morgan's annotations. Her descriptions evaluate each reference in terms of its authority and usefulness to scholars of Momaday's writing. This section also illustrates the broad appeal generated by Momaday's work. For some Native Americans, he is a tremendous source of pride. Some scholars of literature find his work to be marked by radical innovation. Others see in his work the emergence of a collective voice, one that pierces everyday noise and distractions. All in all, there are over 1,870 sources covered; the majority of these are annotated , making the information here indispensable for the enthusiast and scholar of Native American literature. This book is also recommended for college libraries and large public libraries because it serves as an excellent introduction to Momaday's widely dispersed work. In addition, librarians and other scholars may see something else in Phyl-lis S. Morgan's project: an example of the persistent power of bibliographies, the best of which not only …
