War Dances

By: Sherman Alexie

Narrated by: Sherman Alexie

National Book Award winner and New York Times best-selling author Sherman Alexie infuses his writing with biting wit and poignant insight.

As a 41-year-old man confronts his own mortality in this collection's title story, he recalls his Spokane Indian father's chilling death from alcoholism and diabetes. Another tale features an eccentric salesman pursuing a married woman from airport to airport. And then there's the film editor who sees nothing wrong with altering footage to fit preconceived views - until he becomes the target of media distortion.

Loves "Breaking and Entering"

First story was fabulous and "The Senator's son" was okay. Otherwise, nothing to write home about.

Sherman

I have enjoyed his books for a long time. His views on life are real.

Another brilliant work by Sherman Alexie!

I am huge fan of Sherman Alexie’s work. The short stories are great. I needed the name of the short story read before each story to clearly mark the beginning of a new story.

War Dances: Short stories by Sherman Alexie

Author and narrator Alexie does not disappoint with these stories. Some are sad, some quirky, and many are funny. Alexie can slip into a "rez" accent when the story requires it, and is a superb and witty storyteller. Highly recommended.
