Book Discussion: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie has been the topic of recent discussion in our community. Frequently found on "Banned Books Lists", it is also a National Book Award Winner & is in libraries and on high school reading lists around the country. What's the story with this book? Why does it offend some people while others love it?

Let's read the book and talk about the story, the characters, the themes and the concerns about it. We will have a civil conversation about a sometimes controversial book. Pick up a copy of the book at the Main Desk of the Library in advance, and join us!
