The reviews in for Deborah Taffa’s new memoir are many and starred, and include praise from Oprah and the New York Times. Whiskey Tender is a Native American story which is unexpected and propulsive, indeed tender, but also bold and beautifully told. It’s a memoir of family and survival, coming of age on and off the reservation, and of the frictions between mainstream American culture and Native identity. A fascinating work, full of humanity, and a fascinating story, which luckily Taffa will join us at the bookstore to tell. Mark your calendars to be with us on Thursday, June 20 at 5:30pm.
