Tony Hillerman, storyteller

Drawing inspiration from the stark New Mexico landscape and Navajo traditions, author Tony Hillerman's novels focused on the idea of hózhó (or xojo). This refers to beauty, harmony, and the interconnectedness of the natural world. This video is an excerpt from a short documentary produced for the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. Hillerman was the 2004 Kirsch Award winner. Video by John Vande Wege

I started watching a new series based on the books of Tony holler man. Netflix. Based on the book Listening Woman (I just finished episode 1), that’s all I know so far.

I went to college in 1987 as a single parent. I’m a science major. I took a class to brush up on basic English to assist my writing. My professor introduced us to Mr Tony Hillerman and I was hooked. He was brilliant.

I could have done without the cringey Indian flute music.
