CENSUS | SHERMAN ALEXIE When Geronimo Fell, He Didn’t Say His Name. He said your name, which is __________. You’re the one who pushed him onto that train and shipped him like a zoo animal to Florida. You’re the one who broke his bones and pickled his brain. You’re the one who put him in a suit and tie and set him aflame. You’re the one who returned him to the highest mesa and then pushed him off while he was rememorizing the view. And as he fell, burning, he didn’t say his name. He said your name, which is __________, so all you have to do, my Friend, Is Fill In The Blank. Ode to My Sharona>> Sherman Alexie is the winner of the 2007 National Book Award for The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, his first young adult novel. His most recent books are the novel Flight and a collection of poems, Face. He lives in Seattle with his wife and two sons.Sherman_Alexie_Sharona.htmlhttp://www.fallsapart.com/truediary.htmhttp://www.fallsapart.com/truediary.htmhttp://www.hangingloosepress.com/newtitles.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3
