In these stories, we meet the kinds of American Indians we rarely see in literature - the upper and middle class, the professionals and white-collar workers, the bureaucrats and poets, falling in and out of love and wondering if they will make their way home. A Spokane Indian journalist transplanted from the reservation to the city picks up a hitchhiker, a Lummi boxer looking to take on the toughest Indian in the world. A Spokane son waits for his diabetic father to return from the hospital, listening to his fathers friends argue over Jesus' carpentry skills as they build a wheelchair ramp.
In this witty, tender and fierce collection, Sherman Alexie, selected by the New Yorker as one of the best American fiction writers under 40, writes about love - between parents and children, white people and Indians, movie stars and ordinary people.
