Check It Out: Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden


  
This is Barb Gross with the Sioux City Public Library, and you’re listening to “Check it Out.” 
Today, I’m recommending 
Winter Counts, a remarkable debut novel by David Heska Wanbli Weiden, a member of the Lakota Nation of South Dakota. At first glance it’s an action-packed, gritty thriller, but Weiden also explores many social issues faced by Native Americans.
Virgil Wounded Horse is the novel’s flawed but endearing main character. He’s a vigilante, and his job is to bring justice to Native people who have nowhere else to turn. The Federal government often ignores crimes committed on the reservation, and tribal police can’t prosecute felonies. That’s where Virgil comes in. He enjoys administering justice, with his fists, to men who hurt women and children. Sounds grim, right? But oddly enough, the book has many humorous moments as well.    ....

David Heska Wanbli Weiden on Crime Novel Winter Counts


The Edgar Award, as Denver author and Edgar finalist David Heska Wanbli Weiden puts it, is “like the Oscars for crime writers. It’s like our National Book Award.” So it was a big deal when Weiden’s thriller
Winter Counts was shortlisted. It’s an even bigger deal that he’s only the second Native American writer to be named a finalist in the prize’s storied history.
Not that the Edgars are the only organization recognizing Weiden’s work far from it. He’s already won a Lefty Award for Best Debut Novel, and the Western Writers of America presented his book with the Best Contemporary Novel and Best Debut Novel awards. Still pending is a cornucopia of other awards: the Barry, the Thriller, a Colorado Book Award, a Reading the West prize, and the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award. Weiden is going to be busy and he might want to be making space on his fireplace mantel for all those pen-shaped trophies and whatnot. ....
