A very interesting take on the nature of story, as told through a moderately subtle shift in the retelling of the stor(ies) of Jesus. Read this for its metanarrative, not for its illumination of the Biblical characters.

Outstanding writing, storytelling and memoir. This is one of my favorite reads in recent years, and certainly one of the great memoirs. Raw, unflinching and True. If you love narrative, storytelling, indigeousness, memoir or just great writing, I highly recommend this one.

If you've read any of [a:Louise Erdrich|9388|Louise Erdrich|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1462224430p2/9388.jpg]'s novels, you'll find many echoes here, as both writers tackle honestly the difficulties of native women in contemporary times.

Go read this.
