It's because of this that even the short stories in this set that I didn't care for on other levels could still capture my interest.

    <body><![CDATA[This collection of short stories is a bit of a departure from Alexie's other works. While the stories are still those of Native Americans, this one deals - quite graphically - with sex. I'm afraid that some who pick this up as their introduction to Alexie would never pick up another of his books! An...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36201406">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have so much faith in Sherman that it's on my Recommended shelf before I finish it, on the strength of the story that shares the name of the collection. One of the best short stories written I think. Not for the fainted hearted, thus far..]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sherman Alexie is awesome, simply put.   Favorite stories are Sin Eaters, One Good Man, Saint Junior, and Indian Country.  Sin Eaters makes you sad - depressed but angry.  Saint Junior is a great love story.  Just please read this.]]></body>
