The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (20th Anniversary Edition)
by Sherman Alexie
This book was beautifully written. The imagery and metaphor were stunning and spot on. Everything Alexie wrote in this book sounded like flowing lyrics- despite the stories being so somber in nature. It's sad to say that the Native American voice is often lost in today's "popular literature". And I'm very glad to have found this book that better opened my eyes to the Native American culture, struggles, and strength. Also a great read to put my privilege in check.
My favorite story out of this novel was "Imagining the Reservation" which opened with a quote by Lawrence Thorton that perfectly summarized the story. I think it was an important story because while still somber it showed hope. And hope is very important.
Definitely pick this up. It's not too long of a book, and it shows a side of life that so many of us wrongfully forget about. Plus, Sherman Alexie is a cool guy and a fantastic writer.
