This interview took place while novelist, playwright, poet, and painter N. Scott Momaday, who won the Pullitzer in 1969 for House Made of Dawn, lived in a modern apartment in downtown Oklahoma City, during 2007. During that time he taught a single course at the University of Oklahoma, where he was able to freely discuss his favorite books. What first strikes you upon entering his apartment is the artwork on his walls: Momaday’s father, Al Momaday, created twelve illustrations to accompany the prose narrative of The Way to Rainy Mountain, and all the original art is hung on the west wall of his apartment; the opposite wall is lined with paintings of bears and dancers by the younger Momaday.
