"Sherman Alexie has recently published War Dances, a much-praised collection of short fiction and poetry that he&amp;apos;s referred to as a \"mixtape\" and when he appears at The Nature of Words next week, he will almost certainly read from this work.\nChances are his 2007 novel, Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which earned him a National Book Award for \"Young People&amp;apos;s Literature,\" will also come up in his discussion. And it would be near shocking if Alexie didn&amp;apos;t address the fact that this is the same book that was yanked from the in-class curriculum of Crook County schools because it  -  brace yourself  -  featured foul language and mentioned masturbation."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
