There is Thomas Builds-the-Fire, the storyteller who no one seems to listen to, and his compatriot-and sometimes not-so-great friend-Victor, the basketball hero who turned into a recovering alcoholic. Vividly weaving memory, fantasy, and stark reality to paint a portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian reservation, this book introduces some of Alexie’s most beloved characters who inhabit his distinctive landscape. Sherman Alexie’s critically celebrated first collection, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven established its author as one of America’s most important and provocative voices. The basis for the award-winning movie Smoke Signals, it remains one of his most beloved and widely praised books. When it was first published in 1993, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven established Sherman Alexie as a stunning new talent of American letters.
