A review by hold_the_pidge
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

fast-paced

2.5

This used to be a favourite when I first read it during my teenage years. It was also one of the first books I read in English, so most of the slurs in here probably went over my head - and man, is there a lot of slurs. Which leads me to my one major complaint about this book. It focuses mainly on racial discrimination, but also touches upon some other topics (listed under content warnings). While I think that the main topic was represented with great care, the same cannot be said for the rest. Intersectionality is a thing!

I also found out that the authour is a sexual predator, which considerably soured my reading experience. Needless to say, I will not be engaging with his works from now on.
