You Don't Have to Say You Love Me

"Sherman Alexie once went three years without talking to his mom. It’s not that they were estranged; they’d be in the same room, but they just wouldn’t talk. The National Book Award winner, already known for deeply personal explorations of his life, has now written his most personal book yet: a raw memoir of his relationship with his mom called You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me. In it, Alexie veers without warning from prose to poetry. The result can feel uncomfortable and unpredictable, putting you on edge about where the tension will surface next. And that’s exactly as he wanted it."
