Night of the Living Rez

Night of the Living Rez is marketed in a lot of places as a collection of short stories which it is but not in the anthology way, it's short stories in the sense that it is slices of life going back and forth in time which at the end completes the overarching life story of the protagonist.
This book felt both unique and familiar, it speaks of the type of brokenness that is passed down from one generation to another and of the banal and grandiose ways in which it happens in a very human way which I think is so important these days.

Powerful collection of stories, weaving in and out of time and families living on the Penobscot Nation's reservation. I found the nonlinearity compelling, one that added a lot of intrigue and emotional depth, but for some reason I wasn't as drawn into this set of stories as I felt I should have been. I'm not sure where the disconnect was, other than the prose was great but not the most beautiful prose I'd ever read. 

Compelling all the same.
