Book Synopsis
The 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."—Publishers Weekly
"In 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, Studies in American Indian Literatures
