Fresh off his National Book Award get, Alexie offers a heartbreaking, amusing collection of reviews that explores the precarious balance between self-preservation and external responsibility in fine art, family, and the earth at large. With unparalleled perception into the minds of designers, laborers, fathers, husbands, and sons, Alexie populates his reviews with common men on the brink of exceptional change. In a very bicoastal quest through the consequences of both simple and monumental life options, Alexie presents us to personal worlds as they convert beyond return. In the title history, a famous article writer must determine how to care for his distant dad who is slowly and gradually dying a “natural Indian fatality” from alcohol and diabetes, equally as he learns that he himself may have a brain tumor. Alexie dissects a vintage-clothing store owner’s failing marriage and his courtship of an married photographer in various airports in the united states; what happens when a politician’s son commits a hate criminal offenses; and what sort of young guy discovers his self-worth while writing obituaries for his local newspapers. Brazen and sensible, Warfare Dances requires us to the center of what it means to be human. This provocative new work is Alexie at the level of his powers.
