I just added it. And, I read Sherman Alexie about ten years ago. Here is the information on him.<br /><br />Sexual harassment allegations<br />On February 28, 2018, Alexie published a statement regarding accusations of sexual harassment against him by several women, including author Litsa Dremousis, with whom he'd had a consensual affair in the past and who claimed numerous women had spoken to her about Alexie's behavior.[17] Dremousis' response initially appeared on her Facebook page and was subsequently reprinted in The Stranger on March 1, 2018.[18] The fallout from these accusations includes the Institute of American Indian Arts renaming its Sherman Alexie Scholarship as the MFA Alumni Scholarship. The blog Native Americans in Children's Literature has deleted or modified all references to Alexie.[19] In February 2018 it was reported that the American Library Association, which had just awarded Alexie its Carnegie Medal for You Don't Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir,[20] was reconsidering, and in March it was confirmed that Alexie had declined the award and was postponing the publication of a paperback version of the memoir [21] The American Indian Library Association rescinded its 2008 Best Young Adult Book Award from Alexie for The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian, “to send an unequivocal message that Alexie’s actions are unacceptable.”[22]<br /><br />Omahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060602071916614011noreply@blogger.com
