Praise for Reservation Blues…
“The mystical complexity of Reservation Blues is as mesmerizing as the poetic power of Alexie’s writing. . . . Generously laced with bleak and sometimes wacky humor, but none of that detracts from the book’s poignant theme.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Scathingly funny . . . Reservation Blues never misses a beat, never sounds a false note.” —Los Angeles Times
“Quiet, powerful…brilliant, deeply moving…[Sherman Alexie] is funny, he is perceptive, and he knows how to stir us in large and small ways.” –Frederick Busch, The New York Times Book Review
“An important voice in American literature.” –The Boston Globe
