And nostalgia for antiquated technology is tenderly rendered in “Ode to Mix Tapes” and “Ode for Pay Phones.”<DIV><BR>With his versatile voice, Alexie explores love, betrayal, fatherhood, alcoholism, and art in this spirited, soulful, and endlessly entertaining collection, transcending genre boundaries to create something truly unique.<BR><BR><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.</div></div><DIV></div></div>
