"We all came to the powwow for different reasons. The messy, dangling threads of our lives got pulled into a braid--tied to the back of everything we'd been doing all along to get us here. There will be death and playing dead, there will be screams and unbearable silences, forever-silences, and a kind of time-travel, at the moment the gunshots start, when we look around and see ourselves as we are, in our regalia, and something in our blood will recoil then boil hot enough to burn through time and place and memory. We'll go back to where we came from, when we were people running from bullets at the end of that old world. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, that we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, only to die in the grass wearing feathers."
Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and has come to work the powwow and to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Black has come to find his true father. Thomas Frank has come to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and he has come to the Big Oakland Powwow to dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions--intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path.

一有时间就看，坐车等车睡前看，四天看完了。Tommy的文字运用能力真的很好啊！Dene记录下了这些不同人物的故事，叙述手法不一样才会有人称变化，就好像你拍电影都有不同手法叙述分段故事。人物也没那么多，手边突然想起的例子就是原来有个爆米花电影好像叫全城热恋，也是不同手...

用户评价
weaving 12 characters told in varying 1st/2nd/3rd-person voices, the device can feel mechanical&tiring, hard to keep track&delve deeper, some forgettable side characters. Otherwise, tremendous new perspective on urban native americans, bravura pro/interlogues, intergenerational pain&violence, search for identity. heavy on import of storytelling.
评分“What are we?” 悲剧重演，命中命中。
评分这样的叙事完全不能打动我。只觉得做作。
评分当时看觉得一般，但是后劲很大，总是念念不忘一些画面????
评分It's one of those books where everyone's life comes together in some Babel (the movie)-esque way 丧的很真实 文字有些平铺直叙但是真情实感 不过还是有些难共情 所以总是拿起又放下
