ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sherman Alexie offers nine poignant and emotionally resonant stories about Native Americans who find themselves at personal and cultural crossroads. In 'The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above', an intellectual feminist Spokane Indian woman saves the lives of dozens of white women all around her, to the bewilderment of her only child. In 'Do You Know Where I Am?' two college sweethearts rescue a lost cat - a simple act that has profound moral consequences for the rest of their lives together. In 'What You Pawn I Will Redeem', a homeless Indian man must raise $1,000 in twenty-four hours to buy back the fancy dance outfit stolen from his grandmother fifty years earlier.
Even as they often make us laugh, Sherman Alexie's stories are driven by a haunting lyricism and naked candour that cut to the heart of the human experience.

I really enjoyed this collection of stories. My favourite was The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above - it was just brilliant. I've only read one other book by this author but definitely going to add his other books to my wishlist. Thanks so much for sharing this one.
And off it goes in the Random Book Box. Happy reading!
picking this from the bookbox - it's been on my wishlist for a while!
I'd been looking forward to reading this and it didn't disappoint - an insight into a different culture and corner of the world. I'm not sure how easily obtainable his books are outside the States but I've always got the Kindle... will probably wild release this as part of the 52 towns in 52 weeks challenge.
