Lyman "Bean" Wilson, a half-breed Nevada Indian and middle-aged professor of journalism at Lakota University in South Dakota, is reassesing his life. The result is a string of family reconnections, sexual adventures, crises at work, pipe and sweat-lodge ceremonies, and--through his membership in the secret Ghost Dancers Society--political activism, culminating in a successful plot to blow the nose off of the George Washington statue on Mt. Rushmore.

Autorenporträt
Adrian C. Louis (1946-2018) was a half-breed member of the Lovelock Paiute Tribe. He published over a dozen collections of poetry (including two with the University of Nevada Press), a collection of short stories (Wild Indians and Other Creatures, University of Nevada Press), and another novel, Skins, which was made into a movie. His work has been translated into French, Hungarian, and other languages. Louis is remembered for his aggressive refusal to romanticize life on or off the reservation.
