Internationally acclaimed Native playwright Taylor's powerful, haunting and incredibly entertaining stories in Fearless Warriors are a full frontal assault on stereotypes of all kinds--an edifying affirmation of humanity unlike anything else in North American fiction.

No quarter is given, nor is it taken; Native stereotypes of white culture are as fair a species of game for this writer as any other. More than anything else, these stories shine with a wisdom, an understanding of the human condition, that is rare among writers courageous enough to take on these thematics--even just one of these stories, "The Boy in the Ditch" does more to illuminate the tragedy of the pre-teen gasoline sniffing culture of Davis Inlet than countless government commissions will ever do.
