great book

on the other hand, the book was just weird. now I k ow it's supposedly some great piece of literature, but it was super hard to follow, and nothing made sense. It was so non linear and all over the place that there really wasn't a story line, just kind of a weird unpallored existance. he's sad, something sad happened to his past in world war two, his uncle died, he got a ceremony, got hinted down for being insane but he understood the ceremony and then wasn't hunted down anymore I guess? I don't k ow. It was just really weirs. and their were some characters that were just suddenly there with no context as to why they meant so much, then gone again without context. and there were weird sex scenes with complete strangers. I don't know. It was just so hard to follow and all I got out of it was a feeling of confused sadness.
what the?

Silko captures the pain of that betrayal—of fighting for a country that neither sees you nor welcomes you. The book’s depiction of post-war disillusionment is devastating. The return to the reservation is not a homecoming but a collapse, a return to isolation, poverty, racism, and spiritual dislocation. The trauma isn’t just individual—it’s generational, historical, and cultural.
What struck me most was how Ceremony becomes more than a story—it becomes a healing ritual. Silko’s structure mirrors a ceremonial act, blending Laguna oral traditions with Western narrative form. The non-linear storytelling, the interweaving of myth and memory, creates a space where the very act of telling is curative. Tayo’s journey is about much more than recovery from war trauma; it’s about reclaiming identity through tradition, land, and story.
Tayo’s mixed-race identity adds another painful layer. He is caught between worlds—never fully accepted by the white Americans, nor entirely embraced by his own community. His suffering is psychological, but it also reflects the broader consequences of cultural erasure. Silko gives voice to this inner fracture, showing how colonialism not only seizes territory but also splinters identity, memory, and belonging.
One of the most powerful aspects of the novel is its reverence for nature. In Silko’s world, the land is alive—sacred, watching, responsive. The natural world is not scenery but participant. Losing connection to the land is spiritual death; reclaiming it is essential to healing. The contrast between this worldview and America’s extractive capitalism is sharply drawn. The novel doesn’t just critique the commodification of land—it shows how the American Dream itself is built on a foundation of greed, violence, and environmental destruction.
Silko also turns her eye inward, exploring how trauma can breed cycles of internalized violence. Characters like Emo, who lashes out and mimics the very systems that dehumanize him, embody the corrosive effects of historical oppression. Their pain is real, but their rage is tragically misdirected.
Ultimately, Ceremony is a story of resistance—not through revolution, but through remembering. Silko’s work reclaims narrative space for Native voices and offers a new way of understanding healing, not as forgetting trauma, but as integrating it through connection: to land, to story, and to each other.
This is a sad, powerful, and deeply spiritual novel. It challenged me, moved me, and made me reflect on the contradictions of the America we live in—the beauty and brutality, the promise and betrayal. It’s a book I will return to, and one that deserves to be read slowly, reverently, and more than once.
How little America thinks or cares about the first people
