<DIV><DIV><b>A bestselling collection of stories and poems from literary icon Sherman Alexie</b></div><BR>Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction,&#160;<i>War Dances</i>&#160;blends short stories, poems, call-and-response, and more into something that only Sherman Alexie could have written. Ordinary men stand at the threshold of profound change, from a story about a famous writer caring for a dying but still willful father, to the tale of a young Indian boy who learns to value his own life by appreciating the deaths of others. Perceptions change, too, as &ldquo;Another Proclamation&rdquo; casts a shadow over Abraham Lincoln&rsquo;s Emancipation Proclamation, and &ldquo;Invisible Dog on a Leash&rdquo; limns the heartbreak of shattered childhood illusions. And nostalgia for antiquated technology is tenderly rendered in &ldquo;Ode to Mix Tapes&rdquo; and &ldquo;Ode for Pay Phones.&rdquo;<DIV><BR>With his versatile voice, Alexie explores love, betrayal, fatherhood, alcoholism, and art in this spirited, soulful, and endlessly entertaining collection, transcending genre boundaries to create something truly unique.<BR><BR><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div></div><DIV></div></div>
