I love that his mom called him to tell him about certain parts from his own book. Great interview.
This man is the single most influential person of my teenage life. His literature is the work of a true teenager. The Absolutley True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is hands down my favorite book. Thank you Sherman Alexie, you are my hero.
yes!!!!!
My friend sent me Diary of a Part-Time Indian. What a great story. I felt like you were sitting in the room talking to me. Don`t think this book is enjoyed by teens only. My friend and I are both in our 60s. Thanks Sherman.
You're so right. I read it a couple weeks ago and I turned 60 last July. It's a great book. I've read several Sherman Alexie books and Diary of a Part-Time Indian is easily my favorite.
Thats my favorite book and i'm only 17.
Jesus Christ is lord he is the way, will and life seek him 🙏✝️
You are 22 bro) And I am 17@@ArianaDuRan_1
Eight family members gone in one year? I don't know how one handles that.
For all of the lazy ones, the similarities were "One way Alexie's own life and the life of his main character are similar can be seen in the conditions of their births. Both are born with hydrocephalus.
They both got bullied.
They both left the rez.
They both got beat up when playing sports, but they both persevered and made sure that they were still in it. "
im here for school
One of my favorite authors.
Thank you for this.
Anyone care to kind of summarize this.. I need it for homework
I'm sure you're out of the class already or at least the assignment has passes...but the book doesn't take long to read, you should think about doing so. :)
basically, he grew up on a rez and a lot of people were alcohol addicts and 8 of his family members died in like 1 year. he had the same brain thing as in the book, minus the speech impediments.
mmm yeah
@@nosidenoside2458 ty sm
How about you stop being lazy and do the work!
Read this book for a class assignment, and I really liked it.
My Swedish teacher told us to summarize it and to read the book.....
One of the most amazing writers working today.
He is great! A genius, GREAT sense of humor! I love his writings. I would like to meet him someday. He is my hero.
Oh shut up would ya!
I love it, to listen to Sherman Alexie.
We are working on tasks for this book (I am from germany).
I like Sherman Alexie's book "The absolutely true diary...",what we have just read in school.
It's great that he is so open minded.
You can learn a lot from him.
Wie kann man dieses Buch mögen?! Ich musste mich zwingen...
@@russendiesel232 ???
Das buch war richtig gut ich musste mich dazu zwingen es nicht ganz durchzulesen weil ich nicht durfte.
24:08 "The dead one can't sue me" LOL!
This Man has a beautiful BEAUTIFUL soul
This is for school and I got 20 questions to answer
What did you put for the differences and "What are some of the things that we learn about Sherman Alexie’s life that were not explored in his novel?"
He is a great inspiration to me. I really admire his humor, and his writing is irresistible. I've just finished The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian about two weeks ago, and it is one of the best books I've ever read.
He seems like such a great person. I loved this interview. I have learned a lot by watching this. He had a very rough life, sad life. Super talented.
Great interview! Very inspiring! Thank you, Sherman!
BISH I NEED ANSWERS FOR HW
Ong. What did you put for the differences and "What are some of the things that we learn about Sherman Alexie’s life that were not explored in his novel?"
I am here because I love Sherman Alexie.
I read a short story by Sherman Alexie in my private preparatory college high school...now years later I'm reading his other books...I wish he could open the possibility of re-writing history which would include Native Americans/American Indians in U.S. history books...!
Man bout to cry with all of these positive comments about Sherman especially because I too am Native American.
Sherman Alexie is a true genius. I've read everything he's written and I've enjoyed reading every single sentence. I hope he never stops writing.
Holy shit this is boring but my teacher got me watching this
Faxxxxxxx
Same here... 😴 💤 🛏
I've read, and I've listened to, at least two of Sherman Alexie's books. I've read, and enjoyed *"War Dances,"* and I've read, listened to, and enjoyed *"Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian."*
Jason Carpp ok
Reading Ten Little Indians for a college class and I absolutely adore Sherman Alexie. I cannot believe I am just now reading one of his books or just hearing of him.
great video, great interview.
Just sat through the whole video just to answer 5 questions
Ong. What did you put for the differences and "What are some of the things that we learn about Sherman Alexie’s life that were not explored in his novel?"
He inspires me, especially his discussion of leaving the reservation
I love all his books and movies. Very great writer Sherman is.
Great book I decided to read it after Empire of a Summer Moon. I looked for another Goodreads Indian book and came across Sherman Alexie what a great book. I love the story.
I can't wait to see him tomorrow night!
very good story things 11/10
cried through this interview. love
Powerful book for those of us walking in the White world, attending White Universities and trying to figure out where we go from here. Actually, this book is a powerful book for everyone.
why is white capitalized
In school I'm reading the true diary book and I love it everyone in class loves it
Mariantheninja me to it's a good book
zeeky boy I know right !?
Mariantheninja yes
Just finished it and its one of the best books ive ever read
It's funny he says that older people won't message him saying he changed their life... I am not ancient but I'm 27 and his Part-time Indian changed my life. Amazing!
At 72, it would be hard to say that Alexie changed my life simply because I have only just read his collection of short stories titled The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. And I was never an alcoholic or a violent person. That said, Alexie is indeed a writer of genius.
We have a 17 question office for about THIS VIDEO
This is epic, big pp energy!
I live in Spokane and I have a friend that goes to Reardan. We are reading True Diary of a Part Time Indian in school now and its really interesting/sometimes sad to learn about the things that go on outside of those of us who are more privileged (i go to a private school.)
My Favorite Author.
Inspirational and poetic in itself.
I actually learned to drive a stick shift by driving in reverse.
My hero
This is epic
dude. this is cool
I have to watch this interview for school but the only thing I need to know is if he´s talking about drawing and books and when. Can someone help me?
I am from India and his poems like Evolution are prescribed in my syllabus.
Great writer! I love the book Indian Killer.
ARNOLD !!!!!
It's junior
Can anyone help me with finding what universities did Alexie attend
Can we get another movie made please?
Yo I need help I got hw for this and did he say sum about a fruit ?

I love Sherman Alexie.
We are reading his book in are English class.
i am reading this book too i really like it i never like reading or readings books like this but this boook is amazingg :) and you can read that book at your school when there is swearing in it ?thats cool
What does Sherman's drawings tell us that his writing doesn't ? Why did he use pictures n not just words ..?
It seems to be the thing listen to the video for Literary class.
What does rez mean
Was a great book, the only reason why I read it is because I actually go to the real reardan highschool were this book takes place. Most of the stuff about the school and the town that is said in the book is true, but we are soon changing the indian mascot due to some new laws.

@schadenfroh1996 Hau ab. Wir interessieren uns nicht.
All the elder Native American's I have met all say, learn computers, go to college, start your own business. One was from Wyoming, one was Quetsan, one Cherokee, and one Shoeshone. I like his stories,but they do not reflect ALL Native Americans. I think that's what our society wants, is to pigeon hole Native Americans. Its called stereotyping. They are all as different as Europeans. This is Sherman Alexie's life, there are just as many Caucasian alcoholics as there is Native. He is just repeating what has been told to him.
You will never know anything different until you live like a caucasian and see life from their perspective. I hope there will be more Native American doctors someday. The alcoholism is just a symptom Mr. Alexie. The immigrants come in and just repeat what the other immigrants have been told. So its and endless wave, and it will happen to Caucasians also. Its already happening with the heroin.
Kelly oxo “shoeshone” it’s Shoshone fam.
He is speaking from living on The Rez. Have you been to a Rez? And no the casino doesn’t count. That’s what they want outsiders to see. And I guarantee you those Elders aren’t being totally honest with you. 1. They distrust outsiders especially whites
2. You’re not allowed to leave if you do, you’re an apple and a traitor.
THEN WHY DON'T U MARRY HIM! TEEHEE
