  • "When you find a book about abuse or any topic of pain that you so identify with, I mean, it becomes the most reliable friend you can have because a book is always going to be there," muses Sherman Alexie.
    For the first time ever, National Book Award winner Sherman Alexie presents his iconic works in ebook form. An author, poet, and filmmaker, Alexie's writings primarily focus on his Native American heritage and growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. "Overall, what I realize is that we're poor people, and poor people worldwide are treated the same way," notes the author. "I think that's why my books end up being appreciated by so many different kinds of people-because they relate to the pain."
    Watch as this gifted writer discusses the ways of the Spokane Indian tribe and the allure of his incredibly popular books.

    Alexie's book Part Time Indian is the first book my daughter ever loved. I hope it lit a fire. She is Mongol and identifies with Native Americans because Mongolia is like one big rez.

    I’ve been told I look exactly like a young Sherman Alexie! And at first, I didn’t know who that was. So I did investigating and now I’m reading his books!

    Reading Reservation Blues. What is the future of our species? We are approaching 7.9 billion humans on this planet. If each of us were limited to one story or one idea, that is 7.9 billion stories and 7.9 billion ideas. But we tell ourselves stories throughout our lives. The internet is a recent invention. RUclips is a recent invention. Electricity is only recently available. What is our future?

    Inspiring words from a great writer and comedian. Soundtrack is a bit heavy-handed though...

    The Salmon is a fish that makes it hard for me to be an atheist.
