Turquoise Vein "is a memoir centered around all things in nature, written by Leslie Mammon Sirco, who records daily life in the Tucson Mountains of Arizona through intimate communication with the natural world. The work consists of five parts, with the exception of the "Ancestors" section, which focuses on all things in nature. The turquoise in the book title symbolizes the connection with non-human beings and ancestors, becoming a medium of memory. In his book, Searle confronts the issue of ecological destruction in Native American reservations, emphasizing the purpose of memory rather than authenticity, and reconstructing the relationship between humans and nature through imagination. From the perspective of a storyteller, she places non-human beings at the center of the story, reshapes material reality, and provides a new materialistic practice route for repairing human damage to nature. The book 'Turquoise Veins', along with works such as' Physical Nature', 'Vibrant Matter', and 'New Materialism' published in the same year, collectively embody the trend of material transformation, highlighting the vitality and agency of matter. As a literary memoir, Searle abandons obscure theoretical terms and presents the emotional effects of all things in nature through imaginative memories, integrating real life into mythical creatures and achieving intimate coexistence between humans and nature.

I exist in all things

In depth exploration of the intrinsic connection and mutual influence between "I" and all things in nature in "Turquoise Vein". The author drew inspiration from the concept of "inner workings" proposed by quantum physicist Ballard, emphasizing the dissolution of the "self" and its integration with all things. In the Indian literary tradition, personal life is harmoniously linked to reality, reflecting the solemnity and mystery of all things. Sullivan's "material ecologism" viewpoint also emphasizes the interweaving of the human body with other substances, echoing Searle's experience of natural life in the Tucson Desert.

Connecting with reality in the myth of all things

In depth exploration of Searle's mythological writing of non-human beings in "The Turquoise Vein" and its close connection with the oral storytelling tradition of Native Americans. Silko imbues all things in nature, such as stars, rain gods, crickets, rattlesnakes, and turquoise, with mythological colors, making them a guide for daily life. She believes that mythological stories are not only fictional, but can also gain life through storytelling, enter human consciousness, generate emotional power, and stimulate the construction of relationships between people and things. Native American culture believes in natural deities and believes that all life in the universe interacts and depends on each other. Searle's mythological writing is rooted in this belief and reflects a reflection on real life.

Experience family affection in the daily life of all things

Explored how Silko, through the concept of universal memory, integrated all natural things into daily life in "The Turquoise Vein," thereby combating the alienation brought about by technological rationality. Searle believes that establishing a genuine connection with all things in nature can dissolve the manipulation of objects over humans and bring hope to daily life in modern civilization. She emphasized that in Native American culture, all life has kinship relationships, and there are emotions of mutual trust, respect, and dependence between humans, animals, plants, and others. The memories of all things in Silko are filled with the familial bond between humans and nature that is felt in the daily care of all things. This bond breaks the hostile relationship between humans and animals and reflects the possibility of interaction between humans and all things.
