what I thought about "ten little indians"

This is a collection of sad, funny, often beautiful short stories.  Sherman Alexie is a raw, honest, smart writer, and I need to stop forgetting that he exists when I have a hankering for Native American literature, which I sometimes do, and sometimes Tony Hillerman is not the right fit.  

My two favorite stories are "Do You Know Where I Am" and "What Ever Happened to Frank Snake Church?".  Lovely heartwarming/heartbreaking depictions of marriage, of loss, of betrayal, of resilience.  In "Frank Snake Church" there is an almost throwaway description of a girl who works in the admissions office of a community college, and she is so real.  It's a great book.  Check it out.
