Ball games, cars, and romances: the icons and battlefields of modern life.
In twenty-two linked stories, with infinite humour and pathos, Sherman
Alexie explores some of the major issues of our time: the pull between the
urban and the rural, the future and the past; the trials and tribulations
of young adulthood; the comlex density of daily life. A modern mythmaker
with a sharp eye for irony, Sherman Alexie's focus is an American Indian
reservation, but his playground is the world.
