"My Brother": The Recovery of Rocky in Leslie Marmon Silko's "Ceremony"
Bassett, Troy J.
American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v28 n1 p35 Win 2004
In Leslie Marmon Silko's novel "Ceremony", Rocky appears as Tayo's childhood friend and "brother" and also as a major part of Tayo's prisoner-of-war experiences in the Pacific during World War II. The interpretation of the novel presents both Rocky and Tayo as two men destroyed by the war, the former physically and the latter spiritually.
