Bloody funny and gut-punchingly moving, it's without doubt the best book I read this year. * Spectator *\u003cbr\u003eThe anthology offers a remarkable insight into the dissonance of contemporary Native American life * The Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eThese vibrant short stories are a timely reminder of Sherman Alexie's genius. * The Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eAlexie's evocation of grief is heart-rippingly raw. He is equally good on the bond between friends... Sometimes, the most important subjects require the lightest approach. Alexie is a master of this technique. * The Independent *\u003cbr\u003eWhile it's fair to say politics defines his work, it is always generous, questioning - and often very funny. * The Times *\u003cbr\u003eYou'll want to read more of him, which means you'll end up having to rebuy some of these stories. But that's OK. Many are easily good enough to own twice. -- Tom Cox * The Observer *\u003cbr\u003eIf literary fiction in its purest form is meant to be an accurate reflection of human experience and its inevitable ambiguities, Alexie skillfully offers us this in Blasphemy. * San Francisco Chronicle *\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, Alexie has carved out a space in American literature as the great, tragicomic bard of the modern Native American experience. The stories in \u003ci\u003eBlasphemy\u003c\/i\u003e offer ample proof why. * Los Angeles Times *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press \/ Atlantic Monthly Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405233824087,"sku":"9780802120397","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780802120397.jpg?v=1730489218","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/blasphemy-9780802120397","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
