Neither Wolf Nor Dog
Neither Wolf nor Dog
The book is seen through the eyes of an old man named Dan. He is an elderly Indian Lakota man that lives in North Dakota. Kent Nerburn is the author in the book, but he too is one of the main characters in the book. Nerburn is asked by Dan to write a book, pertaining to lives of his Indian people, and the mistakes they made trusting the white people. The book was actually supposed to have been about Dans collective thoughts that he had written down, he wanted the book to be able to get readers from all angles. But Nerburns experience with Dan and his journey were how he wrote the story. His experience from which he arrived at Dans house, to how Dan wanted the story written is turned around to make things seem as though we (the readers) we went to Dans house with him. Dan and his friend Grover takes Nerburn on a little trip, so not only do Dan tell him about his life experience, but so Nerburn can actually feel what Dan is saying to him.
