Two weeks before the James Welch fest, I was in a Brooklyn bookstore listening to Morgan Talty read from his new book of short stories, Night of the Living Rez, a piece of work as tender as anything you'll read this year.But most of the time, for most of us, it's a fence a sales tactic and a barrier to conversation between our art and other art.When art ends up on a reservation, it dies, he replied.Because he is kind and thoughtful, Morgan kindly and thoughtfully answered that he doesn't let the performative nature of the book business prevent him from delivering the only art he knows how to create.
