Sherman Alexie
A writer to know. A book to begin with.
Spokane/Coeur d'Alene American writer, born October 7, 1966. His biography and bibliography are documented by the Poetry Foundation and publishers.
Sherman Alexie’s fiction, poetry, and memoir draw on Spokane identity, reservation life, humor, and the collisions between Indigenous communities and the institutions surrounding them. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is an energetic, cartoon-inflected coming-of-age novel; any reading of the work should also acknowledge the serious public allegations concerning Alexie himself.
