Ten Little Indians
(eBook)
A finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, this bestselling collection from master storyteller Sherman Alexie tackles love, loss, basketball-and everything in between The characters that populate the lyrical and affectionate tales in Ten Little Indians battle stereotypes and navigate the crossroads of culture in life off the reservation. 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." Estelle Walks Above (née Estelle Miller), the mother of the narrator in "The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above," studies her way off the Spokane Indian Reservation and into the University of Washington, 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 and politics. These and the other stories in Ten Little Indians run the gamut from earthy humor to sobering emotional truth, mapping the outer reaches of the human heart. This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
