Moccasin Thunder: American Indian Stories for Today

by Lori M Carlson

Moccasin Thunder: American Indian Stories for Today Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The ten stories that make up this collection are raw, original, and fresh. Although they are all about American Indians, they are as different from one another as they are from anything you've read before.

A supermarket checkout line, a rowboat on a freezing lake at dawn, a drunken dance in the gym, an ice hockey game on public-access TV. These are some of the backgrounds against which ten outstanding authors have created their memorable characters. Their work — both poignant and funny, sarcastic and serious — reminds us that the American Indian story is far from over — it's being written every day.

Review:

"This distinguished anthology offers powerful, beautifully written stories that are thoughtful and important for teens to hear." School Library Journal

Review:

"Carlson has brought together selections that stand apart as wonderful stories, and together as an introduction to contemporary American-Indian literature and experience." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Ten stirring contemporary short stories by Indian writers, including Linda Hogan, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and Susan Power, show teens...coming of age on the reservation and in the city." Booklist
