Auntie's Bookstore Presents: Sherman Alexie

Though he’s not been a resident of the Spokane area for several decades now, we still proudly lay claim to Inland Northwest native Sherman Alexie as one of our region’s most accomplished literary sons. Having written his way to the top with stories and novels inspired by his own life growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, the lauded Alexie is shaking up the publishing world again with his first-ever children’s book, Thunder Boy Jr. This Friday night, Alexie takes to the stage of the Bing to read aloud this new work, a lyrical tale about a young boy named after his father who longs to find a defining title of his own.
