Description
Book SynopsisThe best stories create traditions, and this novel by celebrated Native American writer Gerald Vizenor is a marvelous conjunction of trickster stories and literary ingenuity.
Chair of Tears is funny, fierce, ironic, and deadly serious, a sendup of sacred poses, cultural pretensions, and familiar places from reservations to universities.
Trade Review"An intriguing, fun, and intelligent read."—

Chair of Tears Gerald Vizenor hands us a pitch-perfect send-up not only of Native American studies departments but of academia in general, the gaming industry and the publishing business."—Holly Carver,
Wapsipinicon Almanac "
Chair of Tears is challengingly innovative and comfortingly familiar, satirically biting and laugh-out-loud funny."—Debroah L. Madsen,
