Read Part Time Indian and enjoyed it very much. Someone, a reader or school official took it upon themselves to censor your character's bad joke about Indians, Blacks, and buffaloes by whiting it out... that annoyance aside, marvelous and courageous writing Sherman!
Sympathy for the loss of your mother and life hard in so many ways annd all walk a ragged road though some more than others. Good to know and will check out.
I appreciate the challenge of setting up a book tour and the resources it takes. I also have no doubt that ANYWHERE you wanted to go in the world just for personal or family reasons would have at least one venue that would host you with open arms.
I'd like to come but given the problems between the US and Canada, and especially harassment of other nations (to include Canada) I'm leary. Sherman, Canada lives you ! Can you come up here to BC? Cheers!
I read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, and just now found out it is a young peoples' book. The adage is true: A well written young peoples' book is indistinguishable from any other well written book.
Tremendous memoir and tribute to your parents, intensely personal recollections of growing up on the rez and making your way out to become a writer…Fearless and very powerful stuff! ,you singular humor kept me turning the pages…thanx Sherman ! going to read part time Indian next

If only I saw this 22 hours earlier so I could get a ticket before it sold out!
Got two tickets 🙏🏻
I'm sorry, Joris! The tickets went fast! I haven't done a gig in quite a few years!
I will try to sneak in!
Well, now I’m super sorry that we moved from Bellingham some years ago!

We were just in Vancouver this past weekend. Love those Canadians!
This is a great book in many respects. I wrote a review for a German cultural online magasin: https://culturmag.de/crimemag/die-memoiren-von-sherman-alexie/133010
May many people read it! They will love it.
Wow! That sold out fast!
I got stellar timing some days, the kind of luck that often made WonderHorse whinny.
Wonderhorse!
That Galloping Gourmet!
Stay tuned for news about Bellingham tickets...
Yeppers! Please include me as a So Cal fan 🥰🍀💌
I'm working on other gigs.
I lived close to Bellingham 25 years ago, near the mountains, and I loved this bookstore, frequenting it on trips into town.
I now live across the country so I can’t make it, but am so happy to see you are reading here!
I love Bellingham!
My favorite part in the book, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, is the story about Jerry & Elaine. LOL Enjoy your reading!
Desperado....
