A beloved American writer whose books are championed by critics and readers alike, Sherman Alexie has been hailed by Time as "one of the better new novelists, Indian or otherwise." Now his acclaimed new collection, The Toughest Indian in the World, which received universal praise in hardcover, is available in paperback. In these stories, we meet the kind of American Indians we rarely see in literature -- the kind who pay their bills, hold down jobs, fall in and out of love. A Spokane Indian journalist transplanted from the reservation to the city picks up a hitchhiker, a Lummi boxer looking to take on the toughest Indian in the world. A Spokane son waits for his diabetic father to come home from the hospital, tossing out the Hershey Kisses the father has hidden all over the house. An estranged interracial couple, separated in the midst of a traffic accident, rediscover their love for each other. A white drifter holds up an International House of Pancakes, demanding a dollar per customer and someone to love, and emerges with $42 and an overweight Indian he dubs Salmon Boy. Sherman Alexie's voice is one of remarkable passion, and these stories are love stories -- between parents and children, white people and Indians, movie stars and ordinary people. Witty, tender, and fierce, The Toughest Indian in the World is a virtuoso performance by one of the country's finest writers.

Looks exactly as pictured
Color: Gold
Bought this as a graduation gift for a sons friend who admired a similar one on vacation with us. He really liked it and it is a nice entry level dress watch for those who like to collect them. It was easy to adjust the band with a personal watch kit and was heavier than I expected.

Simple, elegant, versatile
Premium quality at a reasonable price. Simple and elegant. I have yet to wear this watch without receiving multiple compliments, even in sweatpants on my way to the gym. I took it to a high-end jewelry store to have some links removed, the master jeweler there immediately commented on the quality of the movement and what an underrated watch Tissot makes. (Mind you, he had a table full of Rolexes, AP's and Pateks that he was working on) Very comfortable to wear, heavy enough to feel it on your wrist and light enough where it doesnt not become cumbersome.
