Night of the Living Rez
by Morgan Talty
"Twelve linked stories from a Penobscot boyhood — frozen hair, cursed jars, and love that survives anyway."
On the Penobscot reservation in Maine, David comes of age between a mother in crisis, a grandmother losing her memory, and a best friend frozen to the ground outside. Talty's linked stories are bleak, hilarious and heartbreaking in the same breath — an instant contemporary classic.
