The Thanksgiving Play / What Would Crazy Horse Do? by Larissa Fasthorse

challenging dark reflective medium-paced

3.5

I picked this up because I wanted to read The Thanksgiving Play, but surprised myself by enjoying What Would Crazy Horse Do? more. I think that I enjoyed the latter more than the former because the former is definitely meant to be a funny play and intentional comedy just isn't really my thing. That being said, it felt like a satirical situational comedy, which doesn't tend to be my thing anyway. It might also have something to do with the satire being so layered that it felt like I was missing something most of the time. WWCHD? is definitely funny in it's own way, but it feels more wry and dark than TTP did. It was interesting to see how Calvin and Journey's reactions changed as they were confronted with an unwitting and unwilling connection to how Evan and Rebel think. I would definitely still see either of these if the opportunity presented itself, but I think I would only re-read WWCHD.
