Sherman Alexie is acclaimed for prose that “startles and dazzles with unexpected, impossible-to-anticipate moves” (The Boston Globe). His books include The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, winner of the National Book Award; the interconnected short-story collections The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and Ten Little Indians; and the poetry collections The Business of Fancydancing and Face. His many honors include two PEN awards, an American Book Award, and an NEA Poetry Fellowship. His new book is a searing and soaring memoir about his difficult childhood and complicated maternal relationship, as well as a funny and frightening articulation of the contemporary Native American quandary.
