The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie

5.0

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read Sherman Alexie. The short stories are hauntingly beautiful, wrapped in elegant prose, and contain gentle nuances to Alexie’s desire to be more than just a “textbook” Indian. The message is a finely woven thread from story to story and harkens back to W.E.B. Du Bois’s idea of “double consciousness.” I look forward to many more journeys through Alexie’s mind.
