Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie, author, poet, member of the Spokane tribe in Eastern Washington, has a great sense of humour, is a good writer of adult and children's fiction, and is an excellent conversationalist. Listen to him on today's Weekday on KUOW. Alexie is refreshing to listen to because he will talk about anything, is not afraid of being "non-PC", and allows open and honest querying in search of truth, which means we all have to take our limps, be honest in our own assessments, and not hide behind euphemisms and jargon.
