Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Again and again, Alexie's prose startles and dazzles with unexpected, impossible-to-anticipate moves. These are cultural love stories, and we laugh on every page with fist tight around our hearts. With this stunning collection, Sherman Alexie has become quite clearly an important new voice in American literature."

"Again and again, Alexie's prose startles and dazzles with unexpected, impossible-to-anticipate moves. With this stunning collection, Sherman Alexie has become quite clearly an important new voice in American literature." --"The Boston Globe"
"Poetic [and] unremittingly honest . . . "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" is for the American Indian what Richard Wright's Native Son was for the black American in 1940." --"The Chicago Tribune"
"There is, to be sure, too much booze and too little hope on the reservation in Alexie's work, but also resilient real people--living and loving, and, above all, laughing." -"Seattle Post-Intelligence"
"Alexie's prose startles and dazzles." -"The Boston Globe"
"Poetic and unremittingly honest . . . "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" is for the American Indian what Richard Wright's "Native Son" was for the black American in 1940." --"The Chicago Tribune"
"Spare, disturbing stories . . . with stark, lyric power." --"The New York Times Book Review"
"Alexie blends an almost despairing social realism with jolting flashes of visionary fantasy and a quirky sense of gallows humor. In Sherman Alexie's voice we hear the voice of a people asking questions we cannot answer or avoid." --"The Bloomsbury Review"
"A compelling and impressive collection." --"The Washington Times"
"An impressive collection. . . . His tales include all the ingredients of contemporary American Indian life: humor, heartbreak, and humanity." --"Willamette Week"
"Stunning and compelling. Alexie is a visionary and by far the best writer I've seen published in recent years." --"Talk of the Town" (Washington)
"Extremely fine. . . . Alexie writes with simplicity and forthrightness, allowing the power in his stories to creep up slowly on the reader." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Lyrically beautiful and almost always very funny. Irony, grim humor, and forgiveness help characters trans
