The Lone-Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

The Lone-Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

Summary

Ball games, cars, and romances: the icons and battlefields of modern life.

In twenty-two linked stories, with infinite humour and pathos, Sherman Alexie explores some of the major issues of our time: the pull between the urban and the rural, the future and the past; the trials and tribulations of young adulthood; the comlex density of daily life. A modern mythmaker with a sharp eye for irony, Sherman Alexie's focus is an American Indian reservation, but his playground is the world.

Reviews

  • So wide-ranging, dexterous and consistently capable of raising your neck hair that it enters at once into our ideas of who we are and who we might be
