November is Native American Heritage Month: Native American Fiction Resources

Sherman Joseph Alexie Jr., is a prolific writer, most of his work reflecting the nature of life on the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, Washington, and the life of down-and-out American Indians in cities such as Seattle and Spokane. His poetry and short fiction are both marked by a robust humor, which ranges from slapstick to a dry self-deprecation; it is this characteristic tone that generally engages readers and stays with them after the book is finished.
