Product DescriptionMore Books by Sherman Alexie (Author)Run a Quick Search on "Indian Killer" by Sherman Alexie to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Indian Killer"Browse more products related to "Sherman Alexie"Review"Distinctive, quite dazzling thriller by Native American writer about--what else?--the dilemma of Native Americans faced by identity crisis, dramatised here by a series of brutal scalpings which terrify Seattle and signal the imminence of new tribal wars." "Both a splendidly constructed and wonderfully readable thriller--and a haunting, challenging articulation of the plight and the pride of contemporary Native Americans." "You won't find anxious musings about the nature of reality in Sherman Alexie's fiction. His characters, predominantly American Indians, are too busy fighting to survive to have much time to reflect on life's gentler problems....But Sherman Alexie is too good a writer to settle for a diatribe. His vigorous prose, his haunted, surprising characters and his meditative exploration of the sources of human identity transform into a resonant tragedy what might have been a melodrama in less assured hands.." Publisher's noteWhile a serial killer stalks and scalps white men in Seattle, leaving owl feathers on his victims' bodies, John Smith, an Indian adopted into a white family, becomes dissatisfied with his life, and, as the killer searches for his next victim, John descends into the madness of Seattle's homeless. Reprint. AnnotationWhile a young man of Indian origin--who was reared in an adopted white family--descends into madness in Seattle, a serial killer scalps and kills white men, earning the name "Indian Killer."
