"We all came to the powwow for different reasons. The messy, dangling threads of our lives got pulled into a braid--tied to the back of everything we'd been doing all along to get us here. There will be death and playing dead, there will be screams and unbearable silences, forever-silences, and a kind of time-travel, at the moment the gunshots start, when we look around and see ourselves as we are, in our regalia, and something in our blood will recoil then boil hot enough to burn through time and place and memory. We'll go back to where we came from, when we were people running from bullets at the end of that old world. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, that we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, only to die in the grass wearing feathers."
Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and has come to work the powwow and to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Black has come to find his true father. Thomas Frank has come to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and he has come to the Big Oakland Powwow to dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions--intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path.

一有時間就看,坐車等車睡前看,四天看完瞭。Tommy的文字運用能力真的很好啊!Dene記錄下瞭這些不同人物的故事,敘述手法不一樣纔會有人稱變化,就好像你拍電影都有不同手法敘述分段故事。人物也沒那麼多,手邊突然想起的例子就是原來有個爆米花電影好像叫全城熱戀,也是不同手...

感覺像詩歌一樣,每個人的生活展開的時候,都是偶然和必然。
評分“What are we?” 悲劇重演,命中命中。
評分It's one of those books where everyone's life comes together in some Babel (the movie)-esque way 喪的很真實 文字有些平鋪直敘但是真情實感 不過還是有些難共情 所以總是拿起又放下
評分我很意外這本書能讓我讀的放不下來,有點點縫隙時間都會拿起來kindle看幾行,但是我不知道是不是本適閤被推薦的書。整本書真的是真實的可怕。非常hit home,但是我覺得如果對native American文化沒有近距離的瞭解過的話可能會很難産生共情。難能可貴的這個題材的好書。
評分還是看不來紐約TIME推薦的書
