An astonishing coming-of-middle-age debut about an Ahkwes墏sne man's reluctant return home, Old School Indian is a striking exploration of the resonance of love and family, culture and history.
Forty-three-year-old Abe Jacobs has been told by his doctors that he's dying--and fast. Having exhausted his doctors' regimens, he begins to contemplate the one path he thought he'd never consider: a healing at the hands of his great uncle Budge Billings. His uncle still lives on the Ahkwes墏sne reservation where Abe was raised, so more than two decades after leaving, Abe reluctantly returns home. Budge, a wry, unceremonious, recovered alcoholic, is not the least bit sentimental about his gift. Which is good, because Abe's last-ditch attempt to be healed is just that--a fragile hope, one of which he is thoroughly skeptical. But no healing is possible without hope or knowing oneself. To find both faith and himself again, Abe must confront how leaving the reservation at eighteen has affected him, and the loves and fears that have kept him far from home ever since. Delivered with crackling wit and wildly inventive linguistic turns by Abe's wise-cracking, would-be-poet alter-ego, Dominick Deer Woods, Old School Indian possesses the insight into the contemporary indigenous experience of Tommy Orange's There There and Louise Erdrich's The Sentence, and a singularity of voice that evokes other unforgettable protagonists like Ocean Vuong's Little Dog and Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
