- The_Heirs_of_Columbus abstract "The Heirs of Columbus is a 1991 novel by Gerald Vizenor that, in the face of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in America, inverts the historical record by re-imagining Columbus as a descendant of Mayans and Sephardic Jews who now wants to return home, that is, to America. Meanwhile, his modern-day descendants, the "heirs" of the title, are trying to bring his bones home. Critic Louis Owens considers this novel to be Vizenor "[i]n his best trickster-satirist mode" as he accomplishes "a brilliant appropriation of the master symbol of Euroamerican history".The novel employs many of Vizenor's themes and stylistic devices: the use of mixedblood central characters, the use of parody, the deliberate, playful revision of history (as one reviewer describes it, "History jousts with myth", which history coming in "a poor second"), and the emphasis on the healing power of stories. This novel also includes characters from Vizenor's other books, including Bearheart, Griever de Hocus, Nanabozho, Almost Browne and the Trickster of Liberty, as well as numerous references to figures from contemporary Native American literary culture, including Arnold Krupat, N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, Louise Erdrich, Thomas King, and James Welch.".
