-How to Write the Great American Indian Novel-

The description of what an Indian man must be like and how a white woman should react deeply reminds me of Adult Swim's television series "King of the Hill". In this show, the main character's best friend, Dale Dribble, has a wife, Nancy Dribble, who is secretly cheating on him with a Native American named John Redcorn. Only a few neighbors know of this and Dale is so positive of the fact that aliens secretly planted a seed within Nancy, thus giving them a halfbreed named Joseph. Sherman Alexie's read says "All white women love Indian men. That is always the case. White women feign disgust at the savage in blue jeans and T-shirt, but secretly lust after him."
