John Updike, Vladimir Nabokov, and Me
a little celebration
I’m very proud that my story, “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” is included in A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker and that my poem, “The Facebook Sonnet” is included in A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker.
As you can see from just a partial list of contents, I share space with amazing company.
But the craziest news is this:
All I can do is laugh at how impossible this feels! It’s such a long cultural and economic journey for the reservation Indian boy that I was.
I gives thanks to Deborah Treisman, The New Yorker fiction editor, and Kevin Young, The New Yorker poetry editor, for choosing my work.
John Updike, Vlad Nabokov and Sherman Alexie walk into a bar ...
Well, you are one of the few people who writes both great fiction and great poetry! And, by the way, makes terrific movies!
