Sherman Alexie's collection of short stories discusses the lives of Native Americans living on the Spokane Indian Reservation. While there are a lot of depressing themes in this book, there is also a lot of humor throughout. Each story stands on its own, but recurring characters such as Thomas Builds-the-Fire and Victor weave in and out of the stories illustrating a theme of timelessness and community. This is a lyrical and fascinating book.
