Williams, Walter L. / Johnson, Toby: Two Spirits – A Story of Life with the Navajo. 1. US edition, Maple Shade NJ, Lethe Press, 2006. 8° (22x14), 331 p., publisher’s softcover, tight and clean, well cared, [= Historical Gay Fiction], Twenty years after publishing his groundbreaking The Spirit and The Flesh: Sexual Diversity in American Indian Culture, anthropologist Walter L. Williams publishes another book on Native Americans, teaming up with award-winning writer Toby Johnson. Together they have produced a work of historical fiction that is striking in its evocation of Native American oppression, but also of insightful Navajo philosophy, spirituality, and gender wisdom. Set in the Civil War era of the 1860s, this novel tells the story of a feckless Virginian who comes West and finds himself captivated by a Two-Spirit male highly respected among the Navajo. It is a story of tragedy, oppression, and discrimination, but also an enlightening story of love, personal discovery, and beauty. This book illuminates the truth of what the United States did to the largest indigenous people of the nation. Full of suspense, plot twists, and endearing romance, Two Spirits will captivate readers with its positive approach to life and love.–
