| Résumé anglais |
A native American author from Montana, James Welch writes about two men suffering from partly desired amnesia. Human beings, animals and the thunder help the narrator of Winter in the Blood to undergo the initiation rites which dispel the mist clouding his memory. The schizophrenic half-breed in The Death of Jim Loney receives visions which he can only decipher thanks to an Indian friend. The merging of their individual memories into the collective memory of their people frees these two anti-heroes from their existential non-being by forcing them to accept their identity as Indians.
