Saw him speak tonight. The man is my new god. Among what he said (I'm paraphrasing on a lot of this):
- "I'm tired of the fundamentalism from the left AND from the right."
- "I like the (dark) parts of my writing as well as those with heart."
One of the best parts was when he lampooned what he called "public-face" (I think) Indians, those who get up and speak with great seriousness, but with nothing to say. He also railed against Tom's of Maine deodorant, which I appreciate.
Alexie can be found here on good ole KPFA. Amusing as hell.

I've only read one of Sherman's books...his recent short story collection...but I bet he's an interesting character.
