a powerful collection of short stories about contemporary Indian life; the story about 9/11 is very thought-provoking

This was the first work I have read by Alexie Sherman. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading some more.

Wow. Wow wow wow. Sherman Alexie is a brilliant writer. His humor comes effortlessly, his characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and all of his stories are relatable, yet infused with all the uniqueness that the Spokane Indian culture delivers to its characters--the good and the bad. I found that some of the stories, jokes, and themes got a bit repetitive as the collection went along, but overall I am deeply satisfied with my first Alexie read, and will definitely be checking out this author's other works!
