Do not waste your time. Half of the stories left me feeling nauseous. Many are unnecessarily cruel. There are an astounding number of stereotypes and caricatures of indigenous people. Women are stereotypical objects. This is just another white man trying to prove that he has such a deep and philosophical understanding of the world.
