Fiction
The best-selling author of multiple award-winning books
returns with his first novel in ten years, a powerful, fast
and timely story of a troubled foster teenager — a boy who
is not a “legal” Indian because he was never claimed by his
father — who learns the true meaning of terror. About to
commit a devastating act, the young man finds himself shot
back through time on a shocking sojourn through moments of
violence in American history. He resurfaces in the form of
an FBI agent during the civil rights era, inhabits the body
of an Indian child during the battle at Little Big Horn, and
then rides with an Indian tracker in the 19th Century before
materializing as an airline pilot jetting through the skies
today. When finally, blessedly, our young warrior comes to
rest again in his own contemporary body, he is mightily
transformed by all he’s seen. This is Sherman Alexie at his
most brilliant — making us laugh while breaking our hearts.
Simultaneously wrenching and deeply humorous, wholly
contemporary yet steeped in American history, Flight is
irrepressible, fearless, and again, groundbreaking Alexie.
