Cheyenne Madonna
Cheyenne Madonna is a collection of linked short stories by Muscogee (Creek) and Cherokee author Eddie Chuculate, published in July 2010 by Black Sparrow Books,[1] an imprint of David R. Godine, Publisher, in Boston.
Storyline[edit]
The seven stories follow the life of Jordan Coolwater, who leaves Oklahoma and goes West to pursue a sculpting career, all the while battling the two constants in his life: alcohol and art. The stories also explore history, myth, interracial relationships, racism and father-son relationships. The first story in the collection, "Galveston Bay, 1826," won a PEN/O. Henry Award[2] in 2007, and was juror Ursula K. Le Guin's favorite story in that year's edition.[3] The second story, "Yo Yo," received a Pushcart Prize citation. Other stories in the book were previously published in the literary journals Manoa,[4] Ploughshares,[5] Blue Mesa Review, the Iowa Review,[6] Many Mountains Moving and the Kenyon Review.[7] On July 19, 2010, Publishers Weekly reviewed: "Chuculate writes forthright prose in a somber key, examining without judgment the lives of Native American characters. ... Memory and will converge here to powerful effect."[8]
