Sherman Alexie on the Colbert Report


Poet and novelist Sherman Alexie (or here)was on the Colbert Report last night. He was great, giving tit for tat, or tat for tit, whichever way you think is best. I'm an unabashed Sherman Alexie fan. He's fun to read, novels and poetry, Smoke Signals (one of my grandchildren's favorite movies) is a good movie (especially if you in your growing up, like me, had to wrestle with father ghosts), and he's one of those writers who has the wit and desire to reach beyond the choir when he's singing his song. Besides, he's a good guy. Enjoy.

And thanks to son Andy Byrd for sending along the link.

So that is what fancy dance looks like. I think Colbert enjoys when guests bring it.
