Summary: Engaging literature
Comment: Craig Womack's first fiction novel, "Drowning in Fire" reads at once like a familiar story told numerous times by your grandmother and like the exciting first experience with a new adventure. The writing is poetic and captivating, as are the inter-twined stories. Mr. Womack writes in a unique style combining stream-of-consciousness memory recall, brilliant use of local dialects and languages, and colorful characters lovingly described. The book reads like a first-hand account of personal history. It is a "can't put it down" page turner and a "I must re-read that page several times for the pure enjoyment of it" storytelling masterpiece. It is poetry and action adventure at the same time.
The story is about the experiences of growing up Native American and gay in the straight, white world of Oklahoma. But, it is also about what it means to be Native American, gay or not; it is about what it means to be gay, Native or not; and it is about growing up as an outsider in this world, Oklahoma or not. It is arare book that trancends time, setting amd race to touch universal themes, and "Drowning In Fire" accomplishes this.
With this work, Craig Womack helps define modern Native literature. He has also written one hell of an entertaining, enjoyable, important book. Read this and you will not be sorry.
