PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
This Pulitzer Prize-winning 1929 novel sets the love story between Laughing Boy, a proper Navajo youth, and Slim Girl, raised at an Indian school, against the setting of a fast disappearing way of life in the American Southwest. An ethnographer and archaeologist, La Farge captures the flavor of the landscapes and ways of life in Northern Arizona in the early 20th century in this evocative short novel.
