A review by beatrice_k
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie
5.0
"We have to believe in the power of imagination because it's all we have, and ours is stronger than theirs." This quote leads the introduction to the short story "Imagining the Reservation." This quote also exemplifies the spirit of Alexie's book.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven is raw and dirty. It hitches you up and drags you through the grooves in the mud made by hundreds of years of injustices and attempts to move on. The stories don't ask you to feel sorry though, they just show you--no rose colored glasses or requests for sympathy. This is a part of the books sincere appeal.
