Written in a style that can only be Stephen Graham Jones, this was wonderful, even though it says something very real and very depressing about the way the indigenous people of North America are viewed by some. Maybe "some" is an understatement, I don't know. I guess it says that prejudice isn't confined to one class, or one area of society. From the president to the man on the street, they all show their true colours in this story.
Still, at least they didn't win. Not really.
It deals with a real-life problem, but I do love the way Jones writes.

This is the only case where I wish I could rate with more than 5 stars on goodreads.
"The Attack of the 50 foot Indian" is a wonderful little parable which, in my humble opinion, should be read and taught in every school and beyond. A warning, though - what starts in giggles and laughter at the absurdity and wryness will move you so deeply it might end in tears. It did for me.
