Wayne Ude

Wayne wrote the book Becoming Coyote in 1981. In the middle of a cultural punk movement in music and literature he delved into American Indian culture. In the book he literally and figuratively takes the title into the text.

"For years I'd walked suspiciously around the idea, sniffing at it, kicking my leg up occasionally and pissing on it so I'd be able to find it again, then wandering away for a while knowing that the piss smell would help me identify it when I came back. Now I was ready to accept the idea, to piss on it not just so I could find it again, but to mark it as mine, within my boundaries."

He totally contorts, reshapes and abuses the metaphor in every way possible. It's really a very strong passage in a totally underrated book.
