Description

Tony Hillerman: A Life offers an intimate and balanced portrait of the renowned author's personal and professional life. From his early years in Depression-era Oklahoma to his sixty-year marriage, six children, and five adopted children, James McGrath Morris provides a detailed account of Hillerman's experiences. Morris explores Hillerman's work in journalism, his affliction with PTSD, and his enchantment with Navajo spirituality, as well as the creation of his iconic detective Joe Leaphorn. The book also examines the controversy surrounding cultural appropriation and Hillerman's portrayal of Diné (Navajo) history, culture, and identity. With over 20 million copies of his books in print at the time of his death, Tony Hillerman left a lasting legacy in the world of mystery writing.
