One of his most notable works is Great Plains, an exploration of some 25,000 miles of America’s landscape, from the site of Sitting Bull’s cabin to the murders detailed in Truman Capote’s true crime classic In Cold Blood.
With the help of Le War Lance, who first appears in Great Plains, Frazier examines the contemporary experience of Native Americans, particularly the Oglala Sioux, in On the Rez.
Frazier’s latest opus is Travels in Siberia, which came out in paperback in September 2011. Calling it “the greatest horrible country in the world,” Frazier takes us on his journeys to a land just this side of inhabitable.
Ian Frazier is coming to Tulsa on November 10th. He will be appearing at All Souls Unitarian Church. This free event starts at 7pm and is brought to you by BookSmart Tulsa.
