Have you read any Sherman Alexie? I like his writing a lot. I read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and now am reading the short story set called The Toughest Indian in the World.
Diary is a YA novel and as is all his writing, I assume, based on real experiences in the Seattle-Spokane region and on his life as a Spokane and Coeur d'Lane American Indian. I loved this book. It is full of humour, wit, and cleverness of all description.Toughest is really great adult fiction, and I think some of the stories are worthy of study, especially the one of the title name. After this I think I'll read Indian Killer (can you sense a theme by the titles?) since we happen to have it here in my house although I'm not sure if anyone has read it.
