The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indianis an honest look at a young man’s optimistic struggle to find a way to bridge two worlds. Alexie is an accomplished writer who continues to daringly approach uncomfortable topics like grief, alcoholism, poverty and racism, even masturbation. He unfolds our faults as if they were absolutely the most precious flowers ever and he doesn’t waste one intimate word on shame, disgust or ignorance.
