“Call me Zits.

Everybody calls me Zits.”

This is the beginning of “Flight,” a book written by Sherman Alexie.

Alexie is pretty well known in Native circles for his books as well as his iconic and gut busting screenplay “Smoke Signals.”

I read “Flight” over the summer and as with most of Alexie’s work, I laughed till I cried then cried till I laughed.
