Audiobook
The author Sherman Alexie himself narrates the audiobook of The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian, which has won many awards for its creation of an idiosyncratic, first-person voice.[62] "Alexie is the perfect choice to read his own story," notes critic Kristi Jemtegaard.[62] Alexie is able to convey the messages that the missing cartoons, caricatures, and sketches reveal in the printed text.[62] Alexie, who has experience as an orator, won the Taos Poetry Circus World Heavyweight Championship award three years in a row for his oratorical virtuosity.[10]
