Cheese's\u003c\/i\u003e. A Standing Rock Sioux citizen, Midge offers up her unique satire about the foibles of politics, consumerism, world affairs, pandemic anxieties, and other subjects from the pandemic years of 2020 through 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dreamcatcher in the Wry\u003c\/i\u003e brims with insight, considering pig heart transplants, wedding-crashing grizzly bears, truffle-snuffling dogs, bison-petting tourists--and a plethora of other animal and wildlife hijinks--not to mention wienermobiles, the controversial Mount Rushmore, meeting Iron Eyes Cody in a parade, Elizabeth Warren's quaint family lore, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. Midge brilliantly unpacks her observations and day-to-day concerns through the lens of an urban-raised Lakota living in the West, a writer of poetry, op-eds, church bulletins, fridge magnets, and Twitter posts who is allergic to horses and most outdoor recreation--except for berry picking and the occasional romp through a dewy meadow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Turning over the colonizer's society and culture for some good old Native American roasting, Midge informs as she entertains, gleaning wisdom from the incongruities of daily life with a much-needed dose of Indigenous common sense. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTiffany Midge\u003c\/b\u003e is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and was raised by wolves in the Pacific Northwest.
