Worldwide Sherman Alexie Day

Due to places like Richland, Washington, where the water just might kill you faster than the air…we get yet another Worldwide
Sherman Alexie day!

Over at the Slog, they’ve stumbled upon Sherman’s brilliant marketing strategy: ‘submit book to racist, backwoods school district that fears sex, Indians and books.  Then collect awards, money and make fun of them in subsequent interviews.’

And to think, I’m going to have to mention, yet again, my successful career at swatting away Alexie lay-ups at the now demolished Spokane YMCA. My Alexie lay-up swatting career lasted all of maybe three times.  Sherman’s lay-uping career at various YMCA’s and athletic clubs across the globe?  Still quite alive.  And from what I can gather, he grasps the concept of grammarin’…a whole lot better than I do.

See above Slog link for more.  Or check the Lens’ coverage of all things Alexie book banning here, here’s another and yes, there’s another one right here.

Oh look, they’re are one, two, three, maybe even four more…

That’s quite the collection of Sherman Alexie posts, no?  I’m no fanatic, I’m just clinging to those three blocked lay ups and an early 1990’s drunken binge at Fort Spokane Brewery…where I think I told the same story and fucked with the skinny security guys across the street at a Black Crowes concert.

And that’s all I’m going to admit to at this time.
