Mathews is considered one of the founders and shapers of the twentieth-century Native American novel, yet literary history has largely ignored his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An Osage writer from Oklahoma, Mathews also spent time in Los Angeles and Europe. The stories in this volume were written at the dawn of the nuclear age by an author who exposed the social dynamics of an emerging world order, an author who had also published explicitly about the ways he observed the East Coast establishment suppressing southwestern writers. This work shows us the aesthetics we missed out on as a result. Topics range from adulterous murder to Cherokee removal, from the thrill of the hunt to the cultural impasses between U.S. citizens in Mexico and their hosts, from the modern Middle East to the fantastical future. The stories bear the consciousness of a postwar world-its confusions and regrets, its orthodoxies and hypocrisies-as well as the mark of a practiced and prolific writer. \u003ci\u003eThe Short Stories of John Joseph Mathews, an Osage Writer\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the complexity of Native American experiences of the last century and the ripple of these stories today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWesterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Thinkin’\u003cbr\u003e Man\u003cbr\u003e Too Small for a Horse\u003cbr\u003e Old Bob (Unpublished and unedited version)\u003cbr\u003e Old Bob (Manuscript antecedent to the published version)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTravel Stories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lady of the Inn\u003cbr\u003e Allah’\u003cbr\u003es Guest\u003cbr\u003e Yellow Hair\u003cbr\u003e Only a Blonde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStories from Indian Country\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Apache Woman\u003cbr\u003e The Talk of the Face\u003cbr\u003e The Flower on Cadron Creek\u003cbr\u003e Moccasin Prints\u003cbr\u003e Bad Medicine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStories of World War II and the Cold War\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No Time\u003cbr\u003e The Liberal View\u003cbr\u003e What Thing Is Fairest\u003cbr\u003e Natural Science\u003cbr\u003e The Meek Shall Inherit?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Source Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600019812632,"sku":"9781496230980","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-short-stories-of-john-joseph-mathews-an-osage-writer-paperback-softback-9781496230980","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
