Treasures from the KBOO Public Affairs Archives - Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie is a Spokane Indian, poet, writer of stories and novels. When he does a public reading, it usually turns into some kind of performance art. KBOO went to one such event in Portland in 1994, and though you can't see him on radio, you'll think you are there. Are his stories true? Alexie says that, as a writer, he has the right to make things up.
