Reviews
"A novel about lives stuck and getting unstuck, about the hurts and humor of daily life, The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is a critical act of literary sovereignty."-Susan Bernardin, co-author of Trading Gazes: Euro-American Women Photographers and Native North Americans, 1880-1940, "Washburn's smart, hard-edged writing drops you into a world of rez rodeos and honky-tonks and, of course, a murder. Greasy spoon cafes become home to honest emotion and broken dreams with echoes of classic county and western songs. The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band gives witness to a splendid, fresh literary voice."--James Ruppert, editor of Nothing But the Truth: An Anthology of Native American Literature, "A slim, evocative, entertaining tale of strange happenings on an Indian reservation in South Dakota."- Shelf Awareness " The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is filled with a cast of memorable characters. Washburn has a knack for the quiet, tight narrative line that packs a punch."-Lisa Tatonetti, co-editor of Sovereign Erotics: A Collection of Two-Spirit Literature, "Character development is Washburn's strong suit. The people she writes about are so memorable that you can (if you can!) put down the book, return to it in a few days, and immediately continue your connection with its characters and the world in which they live. It is indeed a wonderful story."--Tom Holm, author of The Osage Rose "In a novel rich in detail and smart about the lay of the land on and around the rez, Washburn's novel is both compelling and educational."--American Indian Library Association "This is a book that makes sense of a people who turned down more than $1 billion offered in exchange for the Black Hills. Some things are not easily bought and sold, some things are not "things" at all, only mirrors in which we can choose to see who we are and who we might become. Washburn writes beyond every Indian stereotype to leave us with a story that is as old as those Hills."-- Star Tribune, "A slim, evocative, entertaining tale of strange happenings on an Indian reservation in South Dakota."-- Shelf Awareness " The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is filled with a cast of memorable characters.

It is powerful stuff that lingers long after you turn the last page."-Margaret Coel, author of Killing Custer, "Washburn's smart, hard-edged writing drops you into a world of rez rodeos and honky-tonks and, of course, a murder.

The music she sings is a great soundtrack to an affecting tale."-- The Historical Novels Review "A novel about lives stuck and getting unstuck, about the hurts and humor of daily life, The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is a critical act of literary sovereignty."--Susan Bernardin, co-author of Trading Gazes: Euro-American Women Photographers and Native North Americans, 1880-1940, "The setting and clipped wry style of The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band are a delight, but the novel's greatest strength is Sissy, a character full of self-knowledge and wisdom even as she struggles with the twin mysteries of Buffalo's death and her own self-discovery.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
