After high school, he attended Gonzaga University for two years before transferring to Washington State University, where he graduated with a degree in American studies. He received the Washington State Arts Commission Poetry Fellowship in 1991 and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship in 1992. His collections of poetry included The Business of Fancydancing, First Indian on the Moon, The Summer of Black Widows, One Stick Song, and Face.

His other short story collections included The Toughest Indian in the World, Ten Little Indians, and War Dances. His first novel, Reservation Blues, received the Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award and the Murray Morgan Prize. His other novels included Indian Killer, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and Flight.

Alexie and Jim Boyd, a Colville Indian, collaborated on the album Reservation Blues, which contains the songs from the book of the same name. In 1997, Alexie collaborated with Chris Eyre, a Cheyenne/Arapaho Indian, on a film project inspired by Alexie's work, This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona, from the short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.

Dagboek van een halve indiaan door Sherman Alexie

Een prachtig, grappig en ontroerend boek.

Junior groeit op in een indianen-reservaat, waar de meeste inwoners alcoholist zijn. Om dit treurig lot te ontlopen besluit Junior dat hij naar een school buiten het reservaat gaat.

Dit boek had een Zilveren Zoen moeten krijgen!
Helaas worden er dit jaar geen Zoenen uitgedeeld, zodat dit juweeltje niet bekroond zal worden. Ik zal het in elk geval op mijn verlang-lijstje met bekroonde boeken zetten.

Dagboek van een halve indiaan door Sherman Alexie

Wat een enorme humor heeft de auteur. Zo droog. Daarnaast heeft hij een enorme drive om wat van zijn leven te maken.
Ik heb dikwijls zitten grinneken bij dit boek en tegelijk is het ook een beetje een treurig boek, echter door de humor blijft het luchtig!
