Synopsis:

After setting his mother's perverted boyfriend on fire and running away from his 20th foster home, "Zits," a half-Indian teenager, robs a bank and is shot to death. And that's when the fun begins in Sherman Alexie's scathing, wild, and surreal 10th novel. At the moment of his death, the acne-scarred Zits begins to time-travel, jumping (à la QUANTUM LEAP) into the lives of people throughout history, including a 1970s FBI agent, an Indian at the Battle of Little Big Horn, and an airplane pilot tutoring a terrorist-in-training. Using the scarred and sarcastic voice of a troubled adolescent as a guide to recent American history, Alexie creates a memorable and surprisingly affecting novel that works on both political and personal levels.
