war dances

Identity, love, and longing. According to the Seattle Times, "Sherman Alexie mixes up comedy and tragedy, shoots it through with tenderness, then delivers with a provocateur's don't-give-a-damn flourish. He's unique, and his new book, War Dances, is another case in point."

My E1H team is looking for some new short stories, and because I love Sherman Alexie, I picked up his most recent book, a collection of short stories and poetry.  It's a great collection; unfortunately, in quintessential Alexie fashion, none of the stories are appropriate for freshmen :)
