92. House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday

In this week’s episode, Kayla and Taylor discuss N. Scott Momaday’s 1968 novel House Made of Dawn. Topics include diabolical library pranks, Momaday’s influence on future Native writers, lyrical prose, Spark Notes coming in clutch, non-cringe sex scenes (including a tangent about smut), and Angela and Milly. Plus, we go down a rabbit hole about weird internet videos. And George the Cat makes another appearance. This week’s drink: Golden Dawn via Difford’s GuideINGREDIENTS:3⁄4 oz Hayman's London Dry Gin1 oz Calvados / apple brandy / straight applejack1 oz Luxardo Apricot Albicocca Liqueur1 oz Orange juice (freshly squeezed)2 dashAngostura Aromatic Bitters1⁄12 oz Monin Grenadine SyrupINSTRUCTIONS:SHAKE first 5 ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass. Carefully POUR grenadine into the centre of the drink so that it sinks to create a sunrise effect.Current/recommended reads, links, etc.:House Made of Dawn Spark NotesCommon Ground PilgrimagesEvery Single Album: Taylor Swift (podcast)Follow us on Instagram @literatureandlibationspod.Visit our website: literatureandlibationspod.com to submit feedback, questions, or your own takes on what we are reading.
