Join Writer's Block Bookstore in welcoming debut author and former bookseller Aaron John Curtis to celebrate the release of his book, Old School Indian! About the BookAbe Jacobs is Kanien’kehá:ka from Ahkwesáhsne—that’s People of the Flint, from Where the Partridge Drums—or, if you ask a white dude, a Mohawk Indian from the Saint Regis Tribe. Whichever way you cut it—and Dominick Deer Woods, our irreverent, wisecracking narrator, cuts it six ways to Sunday—at eighteen Abe left the reservation where he was raised and never looked back. Now forty-three, Abe is suffering from a rare disease—one his doctors in Miami believe will kill him. Running from his diagnosis and a failing marriage, Abe returns to the Rez, where he’s convinced to undergo a healing at the hands of his Great Uncle Budge. But this ain’t Sweet Home Ahkwesáhsne, as Dominick might say, and Budge—a wry recovered alcoholic prone to wearing band t-shirts featuring pot-bellied naked dudes—isn’t the least bit precious about his gift. Which is good, because his time off Rez has made Abe a thorough skeptic. However, to heal Abe will have to undertake a revelatory journey, confronting the parts of himself he’s hidden ever since he left home and learning to cultivate hope, even at his darkest hour. Delivered with crackling wit and wildly inventive linguistic turns, Old School Indian is a striking exploration of the power and secrets of family, the capacity for healing and catharsis, and the ripple effects of history and culture. About the Author:Aaron John Curtis is an enrolled member of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, which he’ll tell you is the white name for the American side of Akwesasne. Aaron has judged for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance prizes, the 2019 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction, and the 2021 National Book Award for Nonfiction. Since 2004, Aaron has been Quartermaster at Books & Books, Miami’s largest independent bookstore. He lives in Miami.
