The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian

This book is a great choice if you are not in a mood to know more about things flattening the world (The world is flat), communism (Animal farm), investing (Rich dad poor dad), racism (How to kill a mockingbird), history (India - The definitive images), self-help (Eat that frog, How to win friends and influence people)…Well maybe I gave you my excuse for picking this one. Regardless of what your excuse is, this is an incredibly fun book to read.
Also since it had the word “Indian” in its title it caught my attention. (I enjoy reading novels or stories with Indian characters). But after browsing through it I figured out that it was a (fictional) diary of a ‘native’ or ‘red’ Indian boy –Arnold Spirit Jr.
This move also not very well received by
In such hopeless situation, drawing cartoons is
Native Indians were nomadic but now most of them have settled into reservations created by the government. But
The book is really witty and filled with really nice cartoons which accompany the story as seen here.
Great read and Sherman Alexie totally deserves the slew of awards that were bestowed upon him for this book. Recommended!
