GOOD READS:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Half of a Yellow Sun (C1- C2), and Americanah (C1) or Purple Ibiscus (C1)
Epic, ambitious, and triumphantly realized, Half of a Yellow Sun is a remarkable novel about moral responsibility, about the end of colonialism, about ethnic allegiances, about class and race—and the ways in which love can complicate them all.
Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (C1-C2)
In this darkly comic short story collection, S. Alexie, a Spokane / Coeur d'Alene Indian, brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy, and stark realism to paint a complex, grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian Reservation.
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (B2-C1)
Alexie switchwes to the young adult genre in order to offer an autobiographical depiction of reservation life that is both bleak and hopeful, and both heartrending and uplifting. The book dropped in 2007 and has been getting heaped with praise from the date of its publication, even winning the ultimate American lit prize: the National Book Award.
