Winner of the American Book Award and the Murray Morgan Prize, Sherman
Alexie’s brilliant first novel tells a powerful tale of Indians,
rock ’n’ roll, and redemption Coyote Springs is the only
all-Indian rock band in Washington State—and the entire rest of the
world. Thomas Builds-the-Fire takes vocals and bass guitar, Victor
Joseph hits lead guitar, and Junior Polatkin rounds off the sound on
drums. Backup vocals come from sisters Chess and Checkers Warm Water.
The band sings its own brand of the blues, full of poverty, pain, and
loss—but also joy and laughter. It all started one day when
legendary bluesman Robert Johnson showed up on the Spokane Indian
Reservation with a magical guitar, leaving it on the floor of Thomas
Builds-the-Fire’s van after setting off to climb Wellpinit Mountain
in search of Big Mom. In Reservation Blues, National Book Award
winner Alexie vaults with ease from comedy to tragedy and back in a
tour-de-force outing powered by a collision of cultures: Delta blues
and Indian rock. This ebook features an illustrated biography
including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
