Description
In this book, the writer displays the same passion, dynamic sense of humor, and sharp observational skills that characterize his work. The interviews, ranging from 1993 to 2007, feature Alexie speaking candidly about the ideas and themes behind poetry collections (I Would Steal Horses, First Indian on the Moon), short story collections (The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Ten Little Indians), novels (Indian Killer, Reservation Blues), and screenplays (Smoke Signals). Coeur d Alene through his father and Spokane through his mother, Alexie grew up in Wellpinit on the Spokane Indian Reservation in eastern Washington. Reservation life is a central concern in his work, as are politics, love, contemporary literature, city living (he now lives in Seattle), and his beloved sport of basketball. His wit, polemical engagement, and willingness to confront received notions have made him one of the most popular American Indian writers today.
