THAT is Shiprock on the Navajo reservation, one of the Navajo people’s most sacred icons. Paul Zolbrod spent SO MUCH TIME in these places. After years as an English lit scholar (Mellon Fellow, Fulbright winner), he became fascinated with the Navajo oral-literature creation story and became convinced it was the equal of Milton’s spectacular Paradise Lost. In the last book he wrote before he died, he compared the two, and it is a work of great scholarship, incredible beauty, and profound joy. It is a mythic, literary, and visual tour de force of 532 pages and 147 image from all over the Navajo nation and from every period of European art.
