[In Print] Ten Little Indians
Ten Little Indians offers eleven poignant and emotionally resonant
new stories about Native Americans who, like all Americans, find
themselves at personal and cultural crossroads, faced with heartrending,
tragic, sometimes wondrous moments of being that test their loyalties,
their capacities, and their notions of who they are and who they love.
Sherman Alexie's stories are driven by a haunting lyricism and naked
candor that cut to the heart of the human experience, shedding brilliant
light on what happens when we grow into and out of each other.
(from: Grove Press, 2003)
Smoke Signals: A Screenplay
This is the story of two American Indian boys on a journey. Victor is
a stoic, handsome son of an alcoholic father. Thomas is a gregarious
young man who lost his parents at a very young age. When Victor's
estranged father dies, the two embark on an adventure to Phoenix to
collect the ashes. Along the way, Smoke Signals illustrates the ties
that bind these two very different young men and embraces the lessons
they learn from each other. The Toughest Indian in the World
In this collection of 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. Reservation Blues
In the 111-year life of the Spokane Indian reservation, not one
person has arrived by accident—until the day the black stranger
appears with nothing more than the suit he wears and his guitar. The man
is legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, in flight from the devil and
presumed long dead. And when he passes his enchanted instrument to young
Thomas-Builds-the-Fire - storyteller, misfit and musician - a magical
odyssey begins. The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
In this darkly comic short story collection, Sherman Alexie
brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy and stark realism to paint a complex,
grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian
Reservation. These 22 interlinked tales are narrated by characters
raised on humiliation and government-issue cheese, and yet are filled
with passion and affection, myth and dream.
