Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist: A "stellar collection" of
stories about navigating life off the reservation, filled with
laughter and heartbreak ( People). In these lyrical, affectionate
tales from the author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time
Indian and The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, characters
navigate the crossroads of culture, battle stereotypes, and find
themselves through everything from politics to basketball. Richard,
the narrator of "Lawyer's League," grows up in Seattle, the son of "an
African American giant who played defensive end for the University of
Washington Huskies" and "a petite Spokane Indian ballerina." A woman
is caught in a restaurant when a suicide bomb goes off in "Can I Get a
Witness." And Estelle Walks Above (née Estelle Miller), studies her
way off the Spokane Indian Reservation and goes on to both enjoy and
resent the company of the white women of Seattle—who see her as a
shamanic genius, and look to her for guidance on everything from sex
and fashion to spirituality. These and the other "warm, revealing,
invitingly roundabout stories" in Ten Little Indians run the gamut
from earthy wit to sobering emotional truth, mapping the outer reaches
of the human heart ( The New York Times Book Review). From a New
York Times–bestselling and National Book Award–winning author,
these tales, "rambunctious and exuberant, bristle with an edgy and
mordant humor" ( Chicago Tribune). This ebook features an
illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal
collection.
