2012 - So Far, So Good
by Ralph Salisbury
"From birth to adolescence to war and back again, Salisbury hones in on the quieter moments of life. Steering clear of melodrama, he depicts a world captured in sepia tones, in which understated prose and humble observations best reflect the world that passed him by. . . . Stylistically simple yet structurally complex, Salisbury's latest installment reads as a final chapter to a long, lauded literary life."—Kirkus
"An important glimpse into 20th-century Midwestern life, this book will also be an important addition to the canon of Native American literature."—Library Journal
"[Salisbury's] memoir is a remarkable mosaic of his childhood, his service in World War II and his career as an intellectual."—Katie Schneider, Oregonian"The end result of Salisbury's narrative is to intelligently press us into a recognition of the importance of lived experience and urge an active engagement with our collective past, present and as-yet-to-be-created future."—Elizabeth Wilkinson, Star Tribune
"Don't miss out on the life of Mr. Ralph J. Salisbury. . . . This memoir will take you on a journey into American history."—Night Owl Reviews
“Ralph Salisbury’s So Far, So Good will take its place beside Scott Momaday’sThe Names and Joy Harjo’s Crazy Brave as a major addition to the ever-growing genre of contemporary Native American autobiography.”—Geary Hobson, author of Plain of Jars and Other Stories
