Winner of a Minnesota Book Award and a Northeast Minnesota Book Award.
Celebrating two decades in publication, this twentieth-anniversary edition of a timeless classic comprises forty stories and poems that feature Luke Warmwater, a Vietnam veteran who survived the war but has trouble surviving the peace.
Returning to the reservation after the war, Warmwater finds poverty, unemployment, and the work of the tribal government may prove greater foes than those he faced in the Vietnam jungle—yet he finds salvation through community and humor.
Northrup's 1990s newspaper columns, his play, "Shinnob Jep," and Ojibwe translated poems, are included as additional materials to this new edition and provide historical context for Warmwater's story.

Recenzii
"This 20th-anniversary edition includes the original 40 stories as well as new material: poems, a play and some of Northrup's newspaper work. The stories stand the test of time, as blackly humorous, plainspoken and earthy as they were in 1993. … Northrup knows this life, this area, to the bone." —Star Tribune
"As relevant as it was 20 years ago, this collection continues to provide an unromanticized, insider's view of a culture struggling to maintain, and even recover, its identity, heritage, and language in a rapidly changing and often openly hostile world." —Publishers Weekly
