Sanders, William. Are We Having Fun Yet?
Wildside Press, 2005.
Genre: Fiction
Language: English
Description: Sanders' Native American fantasy stories are by turns haunting, touching, creepy, and laugh-out-loud funny. His award-winner, "The Undiscovered," unveils a William Shakespeare gone to the New World, living with Indians, and entertaining them with a new plei (his Native friends call him Spearshaker, by the way). Other stories give us powerful medicine men who send cockroaches and other annoying critters into the sea, out-play the devil himself on steel guitar, and solve murders faster than Sherlock Holmes. And then there's Elvis Bearpaw, who uses Old Man Alabama's medicine to turn the sacred game to his favor--with results he never would have forseen, not to mention a neat, dark little twist at the very end of his story. Thought-provoking on top of being highly entertaining, Sanders' stuff is also boldly written and rich with Native culture.
