Sherman Alexie, thank you for writing a YA book that is not a trilogy. I have never, at least to my knowledge, read a book written by a Native American until now, and this strikes me as strange. I don't know why. I really appreciated the biographical p...more |

“Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high,
where knowledge is free.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it's way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee
into ever widening thought and action.
In to that heaven of freedom, my father,
LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali
