Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist: A "stellar collection" of stories about navigating life off the reservation, filled with laughter and heartbreak (
People).
In these lyrical, affectionate tales from the author of
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, characters navigate the crossroads of culture, battle stereotypes, and find themselves through everything from politics to basketball. Richard, the narrator of "Lawyer's League," grows up in Seattle, the son of "an African American giant who played defensive end for the University of Washington Huskies" and "a petite Spokane Indian ballerina." A woman is caught in a restaurant when a suicide bomb goes off in "Can I Get a Witness." And Estelle Walks Above (née Estelle Miller), studies her way off the Spokane Indian Reservation and goes on to both enjoy and resent the company of the white women of Seattle-who see her as a shamanic genius, and look to her for guidance on everything from sex and fashion to spirituality.
These and the other "warm, revealing, invitingly roundabout stories" in
Ten Little Indians run the gamut from earthy wit to sobering emotional truth, mapping the outer reaches of the human heart (
The New York Times Book Review).
From a
New York Times-bestselling and National Book Award-winning author, these tales, "rambunctious and exuberant, bristle with an edgy and mordant humor" (
Chicago Tribune).
This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
