It's great to have Sherman Alexie back in Portland.  He is a hot topic of conversation at Portland Community College's Sylvania campus this fall, since we have made his Absolutely True Diary of A Part Time Indian the selection for Sylvania Reads.  We'll have hundreds of students and faculty reading and discussing the book.  We'd love to have Sherman Alexie participate in the discussion, either online or, better yet, in person.

BTW, our library has already stocked multiple copies of the book, which are now in active circulation.  No banning of great books on our campus!  Thanks for your powerful voice, and know that you're being heard loud and clear in Portland the old fashioned way--in books people can hold and embrace and write in!
