The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian was a big hit so far from those I had a chance to talk to about it. It is both funny and sad. It seems to be based on his own life, doesn't it? How else could he so clearly describe the situtations and people in this story? Most people told me that they read it in one or two days. I listened to the story on a Playaway (a small listening device) as this recording had rave reviews and won at least one award. It probably changed the story in some important way as I hear the narrator's voice in my head when I think about this book. Also, I found it funnier than those who read the printed book. Maybe we can listen to an excerpt at our next meeting on April 1
