The Business of Fancydancing: Stories and Poems

By Sherman Alexie(Spokane/Coeur d'AIene). This first publication of a young Spokane/Coeur D'Alene Indian brought him instant recognition and fame.  In a front-page review for the New York Times Book Review, James R. Kincaid wrote that among the new American Indian writers, "perhaps the most commanding voice will belong to Sherman Alexie...whose first publication, Fancydancing, Is so wide-ranging, dexterous and consistently capable of raising your neck hair that it enters at once into our ideas of who we are and how we might be, makes us speak and hear his words over and over, call others into the room or over the phone to repeat them. Mr. Alexie's is one of the major lyric voices of our time."
