Feature: Interview with author Sherman Alexie
His grandmother’s babysitter was Chief Joseph. He has appeared on The Colbert Report. He laughs with you but he also talks about genocide. When you speak to Sherman Alexie, you cover a lot of ground. Just don’t ask him to be a spokesman for anyone.
An interview with Seattle-based author Sherman Alexie about his novel Reservation Blues, which charts the course of Coyote Springs, an all-Indian rock ’n’ roll band that forms on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Eastern Washington. In Alexie’s novel, music is a means to tell stories filled with humor and sadness.
