Night of the Living Rez by Morgan Talty

5.0

This book is a series of stories from moments in David's life, who I now assume is an older man looking back at his life. The stories are not linear, and much like most Native American families, the stories do not have to be in order for them to be taken as a lesson. We follow David in all aspects of life from being a young boy, an adult fighting drug addiction, a time where his best friend was the person he went to for not only pills and money, but because he had no one else, and then finally, an older man recalling the time he went blind so he can tell his doctor why he things he may have cataracts. Each story is raw and leads you to the realization that these stories are the ones that shape David the most. I'm so incredibly pleased with the authors use of his language, spelled phonetically to be accessible to not only his other kin, but to those reading as well.
