レビュー

Excellent book, kept me reading & has stuck with me even after finishing it. Highly recommend.

Pünktlich erhalten, Artikel wie beschrieben. Alles gut!
-
Some of the narrative threads are a bit too stretched and one begins to feel the need for tautness. Would like to congratulate the author for the effort and honesty.

Mysterious, horrible at times, creepy and stunning

I think I’ve come to expect a certain sort of brilliance reading Stephen Graham Jones. And The Only Good Indians doesn’t disappoint. I think there’s a significant amount here on identity, from connection to heritage and how you feel that, manifest it, and how you navigate the evils and perils of the modern world when that world tries to sideline and ridicule that identity. This is a deeply wise novel. And I don’t know how often you think about elk - possibly not often - but you won’t think about them the same way again. Anyway, I loved this book.
