4.5
Beautifully written, poetic, and a great commentary on the modern, urban Native American experience. Most of the characters had strong unique voices. However, I think Orange could have cut Bill, Edwin, and Calvin; instead he could have brought more background and depth to the rest of the character especially Blue.
Graphic: Gun violence
Moderate: Abandonment, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, Alcoholism, and Drug abuse
