BIOGRAPHY
Sherman Alexie (b. 1966). A registered member of the Spokane tribe, Alexie attended grammar school on the Spokane reservation in Wellpinit, Washington. At Washington State University he took a creative writing course with Alex Kuo and began to publish in magazines such as The Beloit Poetry Journal, The Journal of Ethnic Studies, New York Quarterly, Ploughshares, and Zyzzyva. In 1991 he was awarded a poetry fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

In 1992 Alexie published his first two books, I Would Steal Horses and The Business of Fancydancing: Stories and Poems. Several more titles followed in rapid order, including The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993), which received a PEN/ Hemingway Award for best first book of fiction. Alexie also won the American Book Award for his novel Reservation Blues (1995), in which he imagined what would happen if the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson were resurrected on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Indian Killer (1996) is another recent novel.
