As she grew up on the Laguna Pueblo Reservation, she learned the stories and culture of the Laguna people from her great-grandmother and other female relatives. After receiving her B. A. in English at the University of New Mexico, she enrolled in the University of New Mexico law school but completed only three semesters before deciding that writing and storytelling, not law, were the means by which she could best promote justice. Prior to the writing of \u003ci\u003eCeremony\u003c\/i\u003e, she published a series of short stories, including \u003ci\u003eThe Man to Send Rain Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e. She also authored a volume of poetry, \u003ci\u003eLaguna Woman: Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, for which she received the Pushcart Prize for Poetry. In 1973, Silko moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, where she wrote \u003ci\u003eCeremony\u003c\/i\u003e. Silko has followed the critical success of \u003ci\u003eCeremony\u003c\/i\u003e with a series of other novels, including \u003ci\u003eStoryteller\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlmanac for the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGardens in the Dunes\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 272 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65927319224669,"sku":"K087126336","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/8712633600001A.jpg?v=1789474848","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/ceremony-leslie-marmon-silko","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
