Iowa Interview

I really enjoy reading/watching things associated with Sherman Alexie. He is a brilliant minded guy and it shows greatly in his writings. In this interview there were many things that really caught my interest. I thought it was sort of ironic when he was talking about Natives and the idea of environmentalism. It is very strereotypical to think of Natives as "one with nature" or something along those lines, but hearing the idea of a Native American littering is often thought of as farfetched. Alexie's views on the matter shed a little reality to this common stereotype. I really love Alexie's views of white men in comparison to Natives. Overall the interview was interesting, and just adds more to the persona I would expect of Sherman Alexie.

  1. I enjoy Sherman Alexie's realism. He tells it like it is and doesn't try to add any sugar coating. It makes him and his writing more believable.
