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.
