I don't care for short stories so part of my critique is biased against this format. The stories are underpinned by black humour, prejudice and hopelessness in a society which will not allow the native American to get ahead. The reservation is unsupportive of its own talented youth and takes no risks to break out of the mould designed by the white oppressors. A depressing reality check. I have read most of Alexie's work and recommend him to anyone interested in aboriginal issues
