Every winter, Tommy Jack McMorsey watches the meteor showers in northern Minnesota. On the long haul from Texas to Minnesota, Tommy encounters a deluded Japanese tourist determined to find the buried ransom money from the movie Fargo. When the Japanese tourist dies of exposure in Tommy Jack's care, a media storm erupts and sets off a series of journeys into Tommy Jack's past as he remembers the horrors of Vietnam, a love affair, and the suicide of his closest friend, Fred Howkowski. Exploring with great insight and wit the ways images, stereotypes, and depictions intersect with, Extra Indians offers a powerful glimpse into contemporary Native American life.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Eric GansworthPublisher: Milkweed EditionsPublished: 11/01/2010ISBN: 9781571310798Pages: 317Weight: 0.96lbsSize: 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75dAward: New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association Award - WinnerReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 08/02/2010Library Journal 09/01/2010 pg. 98Booklist 10/01/2010 pg. 28New York Times Book Review 12/12/2010 pg. 24Foreword 10/17/2010
