What about my patterns of denial, you ask? Well, you will soon read that once I found myself in repose, in Bordirtoun, for an extended period, certain truths about my character began to assert themselves. Truths I had long ignored, and soon, I would find myself deeper, embedded. You will find that I am similarly skilled at this Pong-ian art of denial. After all, I was the one who came halfway around the world, assuming that my father was telling the truth, knowing full well that he was a world-class liar and cheat.

He’s just doing it the Lakota way, by laying out the history. That’s how we remember our history, by telling our story,” “But does every story have to start with Columbus?” “Everything starts with Columbus. At least everything to do with white people.” “But what’s with the French fries?” “He likes to get rid of the salt.” “No, the piles. First he insists on getting exactly twenty-eight, then he divides them into piles.
