內容簡介

Arnold Spirit Jr.要轉學到新高中—聽起來沒啥大不了的,對吧?

但當你出身斯波坎原住民保留區、整家人又窮到連油錢都付不起,此時轉學到離家22英里的白人學校…生活大概不會讓你太好過。

 

斯波坎少年Junior做了一個令人跌破眼鏡的決定:他要離開他成長的地方,前往一所全白人高中就讀。

為了擺脫命運,走出保留區,迎接他的是外界的獵奇目光、同儕的歧視,回到家,面對的是族人的嘲弄、家庭的貧困與接二連三的劇變,不過,樂天又堅毅的Junior沒這麼容易被擊倒。

 

本書自出版便佳評如潮,小說以日記形式呈現,由主角 Junior 的第一人稱視角出發,透過文字與插畫細膩描繪他在保留區與白人世界的成長歷程。作者以坦然真摯的情感與幽默辛辣的筆觸,真實呈現美國原住民的生活經驗,處理文化衝突與不平等等嚴肅議題。

Bestselling and award winning author Sherman Alexie tells the hearbreaking yet funny story about a boy living on the Spokane Indian Reservation who wants to break free of the life he was destined to live.

Junior is a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.

Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, 
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, based on the author's own experiences and coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
