The Wonder Bull ReviewI am most amazed by the power of Rolo's language in creating the unforgettable Indian hero of Martin who is trying to survive the mean streets of Los Angeles -- but not only as an American Indian. Martin is also an exploited member of society's forgotten underclass. Now I know why Ojibwe author Louise Erdrich calls it "wildly original." Rolo has compassion for his diverse, often unsavory characters -- but he also gives us poetry and wit. Marilyn and Elvis are pure magic while Tina is colorful, eccentric and a kind of anti-heroine. At first Rolo's voice grated my ears in his writing of Martin's voice -- but then I became absorbed in Martin's world and Rolo's command of poetry dances in unexpected flashes ... Martin has a child's clarity and other-worldly wisdom as he sees and experiences things few adults want to even talk about.The Wonder Bull Overview"Mark Anthony Rolo has a killer eye, a bleeding heart, and a blessed wit. This book nails the pain and fallout of the federal government's Native relocation program—a mid-century policy aimed at destroying Native American cultures and languages. The Wonder Bull is a wildly original (but not heartwarming) story. The characters inhabit a hell that Rolo makes worthy of respect."Louise ErdrichAuthor of Love MedicineI soaped myself up very good that night and I got to thinking long and hard about Oklahoma, about Willow having Indian ceremonies going on all the time. I was sure that Oklahoma was a place where that warm orange glow goes on nonstop. I wanted to be in that glow, be in that calmness, that softness forever. And as I pulled my crumpled hand open, rinsing away the soap between my fingers, I wondered what a real shaman was like.So begins the daring journey of Martin, a 40-something emotionally disabled Native American born and raised in Los Angeles, who seeks freedom from the grip of the harsh streets and the heavy hand of those who have controlled his life since he can remember. The Wonder Bull is that rare tale of magically stumbling onto a chance for acceptance in the midst of crushing chaos.
