With unparalleled insight into the minds of artists, laborers, fathers, husbands, and sons, Alexie populates his stories with ordinary men on the brink of exceptional change. In a bicoastal journey through the consequences of both simple and monumental life choices, Alexie introduces us to personal worlds as they transform beyond return. In the title story, a famous writer must decide how to care for his distant father who is slowly dying a "natural Indian death" from alcohol and diabetes, just as he learns that he himself may have a brain tumor. Alexie dissects a vintage-clothing store owner's failing marriage and his courtship of a married photographer in various airports across the country; what happens when a politician's son commits a hate crime; and how a young boy discovers his self-worth while writing obituaries for his local newspaper. Brazen and wise, "War Dances" takes us to the heart of what it means to be human. This provocative new work is Alexie at the height of his powers.Hide synopsis

Alexie certainly has a fallback type for his characters; angry and funny. While I recognize that this is a recurring pattern, I still respond to these characters. Perhaps I am his ideal reader, identifying with every manifestation of witty/pissed off narrator he offers up. But it may also be because ...
