	ShermanAlexie.com: Ten Little Indians
		Now, with Ten Little Indians, he offers eleven poignant and emotionally resonant new stories about Native Americans who, like all Americans, find themselves at personal and cultural crossroads, faced with heartrending, tragic, sometimes wondrous moments of being that test their loyalties, their capacities, and their notions of who they are and who they love.
		In "The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above," an intellectual feminist Spokane Indian woman saves the lives of dozens of white women all around her, to the bewilderment of her only child, now a grown man who looks back at his life with equal parts fondness, amusement, and regret.
		Ten Little Indians is a great new work from "a master of language, writing beautifully, unsparingly, and straight to the heart" (The Nation).

	'Ten Little Indians' by Sherman Alexie
		In the 1965 movie "Ten Little Indians," 10 strangers are lured to a fabulous dinner party, over the course of which each one is murdered by their host for crimes they are perceived to have committed.
		As in his 2000 book, "The Toughest Little Indian in the World," Alexie chips away at stereotypes by presenting a range of characters, none of whom live on a reservation or drink themselves silly.
		Though born of Indian parents, he was surrounded by whites growing up, thanks to his gadfly mother, who spent her days tending to the tender self-esteem of white women who fetishized her background.

	Review \| Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie
		The nine stories in the collection -- the "missing" tenth Indian is perhaps an ironic smack to the politically incorrect Mother Goose rhyme -- offer less jokes than usual, but are still filled with the usual Alexie barbs which prick at our comfort zone of race, gender and politics.
		He excels at using the medium for his message and when the humor is gone so is some of the impact.
		Until that point, the unnamed, unhappily-married wife sitting in a Seattle café had been babbling in a quirky, breathless monologue about her suddenly-missing waiter, the city's 113 consecutive days of rain and the "male cacophony" of her household.

		Ten suspects, with ten little guilty histories is simply far too many to portray in the two-and-a-bit hours of traffic upon the stage.
		So Ten Little Indians at the Rep is a light distraction and some fun but hardly gripping and rather lacking in suspense.
