Helpful Score: 1

I had a mixed reaction to this book. The writing is beautiful, especially the opening chapters, but I was staggered by the level of bias against gay men in the plot of the book. I also felt a little uncomfortable with the naivete of the main character and the calques created by literal translations of Lakota phrases into English, to make his thinking feel more foreign.
