Sherman Alexie on Living Outside Cultural Borders
April 12, 2013
Born on a Native American reservation, Sherman Alexie has been navigating the cultural boundaries of American culture in lauded poetry, novels, short stories, screenplays, even stand-up comedy for over two decades. Alexie joins Bill to share his irreverent perspective on contemporary American life, and discuss the challenges of living in two different cultures at the same time, especially when one has so much dominance over the other.
“I know a lot more about being white than you know about being Indian,” Alexie tells Bill.
