Voici les péripéties poignantes et drôles de Junior, un jeune Indien Spokane, né dans une Réserve. Rien ne lui sera épargné - il a été le bébé qui a survécu par miracle, l'enfant dont on se moque et il est désormais l'adolescent qui subit en soupirant coups de poings et coups du sort.
Jusqu'au jour où cet éternel optimiste réalise qu'un déplorable avenir l'attend s'il ne quitte pas la Réserve. Admis à Reardan, une école prestigieuse surtout fréquentée par les Blancs, Junior se sent devenir un Indien à temps partiel...
Vraiment excellent, poignant et hilarant, réconfortant et sincère, sage et intelligent...
Neil Gaiman
An all-new edition of the tragicomic smash hit which stormed the New York Times bestseller charts, now featuring an introduction from Markus Zusak.
In his first book for young adults, Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist who leaves his school on the Spokane Indian Reservation to attend an all-white high school. This heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written tale, featuring poignant drawings that reflect the character's art, is based on the author's own experiences. It chronicles contemporary adolescence as seen through the eyes of one Native American boy.
