Sherman Alexie
Summer coming like a car from down the highway.
Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie
If it's fiction, then it better be true.
Sherman Alexie
Bush has not read enough books to have a developed moral sense. The fewer books you read, the easier it is to become fundamental. In some ways my antiwar stand here is also a stand on anti-literacy. Someone should get G.W. into a reading program, get him to join a book club. Have him read Hamlet, King Lear.
