Why read it?

1 author picked This Indian Kid as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

After being transported to a vivid, foreboding past by Eddie Chuculate’s atmospheric short story “Galveston Bay, 1826,” I was eager to get a hold of the author’s new nonfiction account of his own coming of age in Oklahoma and the path he took to journalism and storytelling.

Mainly written at an easy, conversational pace, This Indian Kid: A Native American Memoir occasionally slips into exquisite lyricism. In all, it is a potent pleasure.
