Riassunto

Ball games, cars, and romances: the icons and battlefields of modern life.

In twenty-two linked stories, with infinite humour and pathos, Sherman Alexie explores some of the major issues of our time: the pull between the urban and the rural, the future and the past; the trials and tribulations of young adulthood; the comlex density of daily life. A modern mythmaker with a sharp eye for irony, Sherman Alexie's focus is an American Indian reservation, but his playground is the world.

Recensione:

"So wide-ranging, dexterous and consistently capable of raising your neck hair that it enters at once into our ideas of who we are and who we might be" (New York Times Book Review)

"I laughed and laughed and couldn't stop reading... Sherman Alexie is simply one of the best new writers we have" (Leslie Marmon Silko)

"Poetic and unremittingly honest . . . The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is for the American Indian what Richard Wright’s Native Son was for the black American in 1940." (The Chicago Tribune)

Descrizione del libro:

Twenty-two powerful stories which balance unbearable honesty about the difficulties of life in an American Indian reservation with irrepressible passion, warmth and wit.
