The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

A bit of an emotional beating to sit with these characters through these stories.

Turns out my ability to read really depressing Native American stories is 112 pages.

I've read Sherman Alexie before, but this is going back in his writing history. It shows; the stories are more raw, which can be a good thing but also leaves plenty undone.
The pain of poverty and oppression of life on a reservation is more evident and his dry humour less so. Still, it's not one to miss.

i adored this book. smart and funny and sweet and sad and ETC.
