The Hawk Is Hungry and Other Stories by The University Of Arizona Press
These sixteen stories--ten of which have not been previously published--represent the work of one of the most influential Native American writers of the twentieth century--held by many to be the most important Native Americans to write fiction before N. Scott Momaday. Birgit Hans's introductory essay provides a brief biography of McNickle, sets the stories in the context of his better known work, and provides insights into their literary significance. Together, they constitute a collection essential to an adequate understanding of McNickle and of the development of Native American fiction.
