Description: "Fast Cars and Frybread is a collection of Gordon Johnson's reminiscences of a life lived on and off of a reservation. These essays describe fiestas with frybread and beans, storytelling, dancing, snow cones, dogfights, and sometimes human fights. They are about sweat lodges and funerals, puppy love and rock 'n' roll. In all of them, Johnson captures the spirit of reservation life with the skill of a modern journalist and the sensitivity of one who has lived life on Indian time."--book jacket.
