description: This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel captures the essence of the Southwest in the early 1900s—and depicts a young Native American couple experiencing all the uncertainties and joys of first love. Intrigued by a beautiful girl's worldly sophistication and unconventional ways, Laughing Boy helps her reconnect with her people, her past, and a heritage she thought she had lost forever. The story of a love that is at once forbidden and redemptive, unlikely and undeniable, Laughing Boy is one of the most powerful novels in American fiction.
