Sherman Alexie’s stature as a writer of stories, poems, and
novels has soared over the course of his twenty-book,
twenty-year career. His wide-ranging, acclaimed stories from
the last two decades, from The Lone Ranger and Tonto
Fistfight in Heaven to his most recent PEN/Faulkner
award–winning War Dances, have established him as a
star in modern literature.
A bold and irreverent
observer of life among Native Americans in the Pacific
Northwest, the daring, versatile, funny, and outrageous
Alexie showcases all his talents in his newest collection,
Blasphemy, where he unites fifteen beloved classics
with fifteen new stories in one sweeping anthology for
devoted fans and first-time readers.
Included here
are some of his most esteemed tales, including “What You
Pawn I Will Redeem," “This is What it Means to Say Phoenix,
Arizona,” “The Toughest Indian in the World,” and “War
Dances.” Alexie’s new stories are fresh and
quintessential—about donkey basketball leagues, lethal wind
turbines, the reservation, marriage, and all species of
contemporary American warriors.
An indispensable
collection of new and classic stories, Blasphemy
reminds us, on every thrilling page, why Sherman Alexie is
one of our greatest contemporary writers and a true master
of the short story.
