Einleitungssatz
WALKING IN THE WOODS by the creek I turn that flat gray rock and feel moisture and moss and smell maybe death, maybe change, and from among all the wriggling fear and idiotic indifference abruptly exposed to daylight and to all my omnis, present and potent, I select the most alien, no, revolting specimens, and, one after another, imagine being it, that sticky slug, that black claw-mouthed beetle, that cigar-colored armor-plated worm gorging ants, and one after another I am they, each one, and live its life for a while.

Coyote: An Indian Casino Blues
1. August 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Coyote is a kick in the pants. Richard Millers character Beffle, alias The Beer Fairy, changes personas and disguises like most of us change socks. In fact, many characters in this book change identities as Beffle and her erstwhile employer Two Bears roar through several American Indian casinos trying to escape a vast unnamed conspiracy that threatens to murder them.
From an Ohlone home base casino in Carmel Valley, Calif., Beffle and Two Bears plot the resurgence of American Indian culture through the pocketbooks of American consumer culture, primarily gambling, called here as in advertisements, "gaming." Miller not only places the reader on the Big Sur coast but also trails us to Las Vegas and Connecticut, while making a strong point that the motel rooms that Beffle frequents could be "anywhere USA."
Beffle and Two Bears travel to develop a scheme that will combine casinos around the country to buy back Indian land and establish a new Indian confederacy. The motel culture of the dominant culture wont do; perhaps the resurrection of the Indians with their respect for nature will save society. Or will it? Miller makes the reader acutely aware that casinos are sprouting in places where the deer once roamed.
Theres lots of background on what the dominant white culture has done to the Indians since stealing their land and Two Bears becomes an eloquent spokesman for the injustices as well as for the dreams of the tribes. His diatribes skewer our contemporary consumer culture as surely and accurately as an arrow strikes the bulls eye.
Yet theres something rotten in Denmark, as Shakespeare would say, when various people attempt to kill Beffle, and the pair, along with their trusty bodyguards, confront an unknown force that could be the CIA, the FBI or the Mafia. Who is trying to kill them and why? Or is anyone what they seem? And who are these sex-crazed twins and their cohorts who keep popping up to rescue Beffle at the oddest times?
Not to give away the plot, but no one is who they seem to be and the last pages of the book once again turn identities on their heads. Make an afternoon free to read this compelling story of ideals that bend back on themselves like pretzels and still hold out hope that something can change; people will triumph over their own doubts and greed and we can look to some of the beliefs of the American Indians to see us through our complex so-called civilization.

Wildly Intense
13. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
COYOTE is a swirling vortex of thoughts and ideas. It is about our mortal and immortal selves. It is about the pyramids of power who do their damnedest to control us, and inadvertently, themselves. It is about innocence and deceit. Who are the bad guys anyways? Should we be judged by what we do or why we do it? COYOTE is both thoughtful and fun, a fast-paced fiction that raises many serious issues. I truly recommend it!
It's a howl! Funny, serious, engaging.

Like its namesake in Native-American mythology, Miller's Coyote is playful and cunning. Its heroine, the resourceful and mysterious Beffle-who's an accomplished disguise artist-takes the reader on a coast-to-coast tour of Indian Casino gambling, that includes a stop in the nightmarish Mecca of gambling, Las Vegas. It also includes a bizarre high school reunion in the bowels of Ohio. Coyote is funny, suspensful, and serious as it looks at the history of relations between Native Americans and the Europeans who dropped by uninvited. Lots of good history wrapped in a witty, fast-paced adventure. I read it over a weekend and forwarded it to a friend who read it in a night. Terrific book.
