Requests:  0 Summary:  In his darkly comic short story collection, the author brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy, and stark realism to paint a complex, grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian Reservation. These twenty-four interlinked tales are narrated by characters raised on humiliation and government-issue cheese, yet filled with passion and affection, myth and dream. There is Victor, who as a nine-year-old crawled between his unconscious parents hoping that the alcohol seeping through their skins might help him sleep; Thomas Builds-the-Fire, who tells his stories long after people stop listening; and Jimmy Many Horses, dying of cancer, who writes letters on stationary that reads "From the Death Bed of Jimmy Many Horses III," even though he actually writes them on his kitchen table. Against a backdrop of alcohol, car accidents, laughter, and basketball, Alexie depicts the distances between Indians and whites, reservation Indians and urban Indians, men and women, and most poetically, between modern Indians and the traditions of the past.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Alexie Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Alexie Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Alexie Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexie Checked out 06/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList
