“Last night I missed two free throws which would have won the game against the best team in the state. The farm town high school I play for is nicknamed the "Indians," and I'm probably the only actual Indian ever to play for a team with such a mascot. This morning I pick up the sports page and read the headline: INDIANS LOSE AGAIN. Go ahead and tell me none of this is supposed to hurt me very much.”

The stories blend realism with magical and surreal elements, often focusing on themes of identity, poverty, alcoholism, and cultural dislocation. The title story and others feature recurring characters, including the young narrator Victor, and use humor and tragedy to examine the complexities of contemporary Native American life, challenging stereotypes and historical narratives. more
