"The Bird is Gone is one of the most strikingly original novels
I've read in a long, long time. And yet, extraordinarily, its
originality never overwhelms its humanity. What a thrill it is to
see the world through Stephen Jones's sensibility. He is
unquestionably one of our finest young writers."
--Robert Olen Butler, author of A Good Scent from a Strange
Mountain
"For a while now I have felt that we Native American writers (and I
most certainly include myself in the "we") keep writing about the
same damn things. Stephen Jones writes with a whole new aesthetic
and moral sense. He doesn't sound like any of the rest of us, and I
love that."
--Sherman Alexie, author of Ten Little Indians
"In The Bird is Gone, Stephen Graham Jones follows his brilliant
first novel, The Fast Red Road, with another work of pure
originality and quirky brilliance. No unintended clichés or
stereotypes here. With Vizenor-like deftness and completely
unexpected moves, Jones is taking Native American fiction in a new,
necessary direction. We see a literature coming of age in these
pages."
--Louis Owens, author of Nightland
