Description
Susan Lowell’s first story collection won the first Milkweed Editions National Fiction Prize. In the novella that accompanies the eight stories in this collection, Lowell traces the ownership of an intricate Navajo rug—the Ganado Red of the title—over sixty years, from its Navajo creator through its various collector/owners. With each owner, the story rests, collects itself, looks about to examine its surroundings, the characters, and the effect of the brilliant blood-red rug on the people around it.
