The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven: Stories

Sherman Alexieâ€™s darkly humorous story collection weaves memory, fantasy, and stark reality to powerfully evoke life on the Spokane Indian Reservation.

The twenty-four linked tales in Alexieâ€™s debut collectionâ€”an instant classicâ€”paint an unforgettable portrait of life on and around the Spokane Indian Reservation, a place where â€œSurvival = Anger x Imagination,â€ where HUD houses and generations of privation intertwine with history, passion, and myth.
Â
We follow Thomas Builds-the-Fire, the longwinded storyteller no one really listens to; his half-hearted nemesis, Victor, the basketball star turned recovering alcoholic; and a wide cast of other vividly drawn characters on a haunting journey filled with humor and sorrow, resilience and resignation, dreams and reality. Alexieâ€™s unadulterated honesty and boundless compassion come together in a poetic vision of a world in which the gaps between past and present are not really gaps after all.
Â
The basis for the acclaimed 1998 feature film Smoke Signals,the Chicago Tribune noted, â€œThe Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven . . . is for the American Indian what Richard Wrightâ€™s Native Son was for the black American in 1940.â€
Â
The collection received a Special Citation for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Fiction.
Â
This ebook edition features a new prologue from the author, as well as an illustrated biography and rare photos from Sherman Alexieâ€™s personal collection.
