Summary

The 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner - a Native American work.

The heart of the Native American experience: In this 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner, Kent Nerburn draws the listener deep into the world of an Indian elder known only as Dan. It’s a world of Indian towns, white roadside cafes, and abandoned roads that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull. Listeners meet vivid characters like Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic, and Annie, an 80-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin. Threading through the audiobook is the story of two men struggling to find a common voice. 

Neither Wolf nor Dog takes listeners to the heart of the Native American experience. As the story unfolds, Dan speaks eloquently on the difference between land and property, the power of silence, and the selling of sacred ceremonies. This edition features a new introduction by the author, Kent Nerburn.

“This is a sobering, humbling, cleansing, loving book, one that every American should read.” (Yoga Journal)

If you enjoyed Empire of the Summer Moon, Heart Berries, or You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, you’ll love owning and listening to Neither Wolf nor Dog by Kent Nerburn.

Both the book and the narrator are brilliant

The book was both moving and interesting.
It is a true story, taking the form of a real-life journey and joined, metaphorically, by the reader. The Indian Elder and the writer are exceptionally eloquent, and the other characters come to life well, too. The narrator is also outstanding, making the audiobook a good choice. In addition, it's easy to follow and always clear who is speaking yet without any feeling that the accents are put on.

A beautiful story

Excellent narrative, a thoughtful and personal insight. Great narration that really brings all the characters to life.

Surprising

I had no idea what to expect but Neither Wolf Nor Dog delivered so much more. A good listen it is also thought provoking, challenging ways of thinking about and understanding history, values and “modern” life. A happy chance to have stumbled across it, I’m now contemplating listening to another of Kent Nerburn’s books on Dan

One of the worst book I ever read!

Boring, without direction. Trust me avoid it if you can. I don't understand how can this book became a best seller.
