I’m always wary of books that have been raved about, but this didn’t disappoint. I’m also wary of reviewing this book in a way that Dan would disapprove, neither wishing to patronise nor treat the circumstances with unnecessary sympathy. This book is about neither. It’s about ‘understanding.’ Which maybe makes ‘Neither Wolf Nor Dog’ sound like a heavy read. It’s anything but. The writing is colourful, and the conversations between Dan and Nerburn are thought provoking. And though this is about American Indians, the book could also relate to the manner in which other races are perceived, even to this day, by ‘the white man.’ |
