#FallTreasures #Day24 #NativeAmericanDay
Catching up on posts from the weekend, since I was out of town and away from my books.
I read the tagged book in my Literature of the American West class back in college, and got Lone Ranger and Tonto signed by Sherman Alexie when he spoke at my college.
Suet624 I‘ve wanted to meet Alexie forever. 3y
SamAnne I know he has been a #MeToo casualty and it was with warrant, but wow his memoir You Don‘t Have to Say You Love Me is great. He had a brain tumor when he was writing it and switches from prose to poem. Dammit Sherman! Why couldn‘t you keep it in your pants!!!!!!! 3y
Kimberlone @Suet624 it was over 10 years ago when I saw him speak, but I do remember it being fantastic. @SamAnne yes it‘s unfortunate that his literary legacy has been tainted now by his own bad behavior (similar to Junot Diaz as well 😞), since he has such a powerful voice and perspective. At least we still have the beautiful writing. (edited) 3y
Suet624 @SamAnne yes, I‘ve read all of his books and will always have compassion for him. 3y
Eggs Great choice! I‘ve read several Alexie books 😔 3y
