Finished Flight last night Finished Flight by Shermal Alexie last night. There was a lot of it that went right past me, but I definitely enjoyed what I got out of it. For example, a lot of it was inspired by Slaughterhouse Five, which I have yet to read, and I didn´t know a thing about Pine Ridge. I picked up a lot of background and filled in a lot of blanks from this interview. Even without a good understanding of the issues, you can definitely appreciate the way Alexie puts you in the kid´s perspective, as well as the other perspectives that the kid encounters.
