Book Review: The Absolutely True Diary of a
Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is the first novel for young adults by renowned Native
American author Sherman Alexie. This winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s
Literature is a compelling story of determination against the odds infused with wit and humor.
Arnold Spirit, aka Junior, is a bright 14-year-old who lives on a Spokane Indian reservation where
poverty is a fact of life. It’s a poverty so crushing that Junior’s father feels he has to shoot the family
dog to end its suffering because there is no money for a vet. But while everyone on the rez is poor,
Junior has more unusual problems — he was born with “water on the brain,” giving him a head larger
than normal, ten extra teeth, poor eyesight and seizures. His birth defects and his lisp cause him to be
bullied constantly.
The kids call him retarded, but he’s not. Junior is very smart. He’s the kind of kid who gets excited over
new textbooks at the start of the school year. On his first day of high school, Junior is looking forward
to Geometry… until he opens his textbook and finds his mother’s maiden name written inside – from
thirty years ago. Junior is usually a peaceful guy, but something about this injustice blinds him with
rage. He throws the book – which flies across the room and breaks his teacher’s nose.
Junior is suspended from school. While he’s sitting at home, he gets an unexpected visit from the
teacher, Mr. P. Instead of being angry, Mr. P tells him that he needs to take his hope and get off the
reservation before he gives up on life like so many of the people around him.
Junior thinks about what his teacher said – and makes a decision. He is never going back to the
reservation school. He tells his parents he wants to transfer to Reardon, which is known as the best
high school in the region. Reardon has state-of-the-art science and computer labs, and two basketball
gyms. It’s located in a white well-off farming community 22 miles from the rez.
Now Junior has hope. But he has new problems. He has begun his career as a “part-time Indian,”
living half his life in the white world and half in the Indian world. On the one hand, he is the only poor
kid at his new school, not to mention the only Indian other than the school mascot. But back on the
reservation he faces hostility for being a “traitor” to his people. It all comes to a head when Reardon’s
basketball team, of which Junior is a member, plays the reservation school basketball team on their
home court for the championship.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a semi-autobiographical novel – author Sherman
Alexie grew up on a Spokane Indian reservation and had to make some choices similar to those of
Junior in this book. For all the serious issues that arise, comedic aspects keep the storyline brisk and
amusing as Junior prevails on many levels in the end. Cartoons by Junior (actually the creations of
illustrator Ellen Forney) about his challenges and the contrasts between American Indian and white
American lifestyles break up the text and add levity to the serious themes of prejudice, cultural identity
and poverty.
