On the left, there’s Morgan Entrekin, publisher of Grove Atlantic, left, with author Sherman Alexie, right. Aren’t they having fun?

Last year at BookExpo America I asked Alexie and publisher Charlie Winton to let me take their photo; they did, making exaggerated poses when I asked them to act natural. This year, I’ve miraculously caught Alexie just at the moment he burst into laughter at something incredibly witty Entrekin said. Or maybe he’s posing again.

Alexie was on the floor of BEA signing copies of a chapbook excerpt of ‘War Dances,’ his upcoming short story collection. It’ll be out in October.
