Reservation Blues
by Sherman Alexie
A wryly humorous story that combines a portrait of poverty and pathos on the Spokane Indian reservation with an appearance by Blues legend Robert Johnson. The famous visitor bestows his magical guitar on an unlikely young storyteller, who forms an all-Indian rock band with his motley group of frenemies. Racial tension, Native American folklore and mysticism combine in a novel that is at times wonderful, but very uneven. I'd recommend reading other work by Alexie over this one.
