About

War Dances Synopsis

The bestselling, award-winning author's ';fiercely freewheeling collection of stories and poems about the tragicomedies of ordinary lives' (O, The Oprah Magazine). Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction,War Dancesblends 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 ';Another Proclamation' casts a shadow over Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, and ';Invisible Dog on a Leash' limns the heartbreak of shattered childhood illusions. And nostalgia for antiquated technology is tenderly rendered in ';Ode to Mix Tapes' and ';Ode for Pay Phones.' 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. This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
