thesillyman 's review for:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
by Sherman Alexie
A really great collection of some inter-connected short stories. I had a little trouble following which narrator was which. It's all written in first person in a similar voice, so it was difficult to follow which character was which when the narrator became a secondary character and vice-versa. However over time the character's traits and voices got a little more distinct and kept me engaged through the end.
The excerpts that stood out most were;
The Only Traffic Signal on the Reservation Doesn't Flash Red Anymore
This Is What It Means To Say Phoenix, Arizona
The Trial of Thomas Builds-The-Fire
Jesus Christ's Half-Brother is Alive and Well on the Spokane Indian Reservation
The Approximate Size of My Favorite Tumor
Somebody Kept Saying Pow Wow
Witnesses Secret and Not
Things I didn't know about before;
HUD House- Slang Housing and Urban Development properties that were once foreclosed on.
BIA- Bureau of Indian Affairs
Fry Bread- Traditional bread often served with various other foods.
Ennit- "Isn't it." An expression of agreement
