Biografia breu
Ernie Bulow is a sometime bookman whose interests and experience extend to journalism, photography, Indian trading, writing, silversmithing, and teaching. He claims he could probably make a decent living as a trader if he didn't have so much fun at it. As it is, he continues to include a few traders among his friends, despite his better judgement.

Born in San Francisco in 1943, Bulow first encountered some of the Navajo people while working alongside the migrant laborers on his grandfather's farm in southern Idaho. After taking a degree in English in the early sixties, he worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, living in Gallup and teaching English at Fort Wingate on the Navajo Reservation. During this time he saw or took part in all the major Navajo healing rites.

Following receipt of a doctorate from the University of Utah, he returned to New Mexico, where he traded in Indian jewelry and kachinas and opened a bookstore, among other activities. Currently he writes reviews for the Gallup Independent teaches an occasional class at the Gallup branch of the University of New Mexico, and deals in rare books.

If you're a Tony Hillerman fan, I urge you to find this book. The bulk of it is an interview of Hillerman by Bulow, about Hillerman's work, how he came to set his books in Navajo country, how he writes, a lot of great stuff about the process of writing that should be of interest even if you're not a Hillerman devotée. There's also an essay by Hillerman on similar themes; a short story, a "Jim Chee mini-mystery"; and several drawings by Ernest Franklin, originally intended for one of Hillerman's books. This is a great glimpse into how an author works, where his ideas come from, and how he makes those ideas flesh.… (més)

I quite enjoyed the interview with Tony Hillerman - he was self-effacing, interesting, and funny. The short story included in this volume is familiar to those who have read "The Blessing Way". Don't read until after you have read the novel! The introduction by Ernie Bulow was annoying - I had this feeling that he saw himself as the great "Navajo expert" and Mr. Hillerman was just using the culture as window dressings. So he came across as condescending. Still - the whole thing was a short read and gave a little glimpse into Mr. Hillerman's intents and processes in writing his series of novels.… (més)
