The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
by Sherman Alexie
Book 18 of 2015: 3/5 stars
I think that Sherman Alexie is an incredible writer. His way of writing about the Spokane Indian reservation is poetic but harshly true, harshly human. These are LIVES. Lives that were screwed over and are still suffering, if in new ways. There's plenty of alcoholism, little hope, and many young lives that don't go anywhere at all, except back to the reservation again and again. For me the stories all bled together. Though the stories had their differences they felt exactly the same. That was probably the point. After a while it's hard to read something again again. But that was probably the point.
