Reviews: Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
I haven't read the book yet, but it looks like it is well received! If you are thinking about focusing on Native American literature for your final project, this might be an interesting selection.
I can't resist a couple of thoughts on blogging:
- When you want to create a link to a particular post, rather than the general address where the blog is located, you can use the "permanent link" that is specific to the post you are citing.
- You'll see that an anonymous reader posted a comment and Debbie Reese responded. This type of discussion is what blogs are all about! (Although it is unfortunate that the comment is nasty. This is one of the reasons I set my blog so that readers can not post anonymously!)

This is by the same author as the two "adult" books that I mentioned in class: "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" and "Reservation Blues".
I read "Diary..." and am anxious to discuss it! One interesting aspect of the text is that it includes the comics that the main character draws. I'm on the fence in terms of whether the book might reinforce stereotypical views of reservations... Sherman is an "insider"...
