War Dances by Sherman Alexie
3.0
This collection left me torn. I really wanted to love it as much as his recent memoir. It just didn't have the same effect. Possibly because of the depth of the content in that book vs. this one, but I can't say for sure.
I listened to it in audio format because I find understand his tone, his purpose, better when he speaks the words he's written. Some of the stories were enjoyable, like The Senator's Son and Fearful Symmetry, and a few of the poems, like Ode to Mixed Tapes, were amusing and almost whismical. The rest was okay but didn't grab me or strike me in the way I'd have liked.
