About this audiobook
One Native man tells his story of growing up and reclaiming a slur that was used against him in this heartbreaking book full of beautiful verse and prose.
Editor's Note
Longlisted for the National Book Award…
“Apple (Skin to the Core)” was longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. This memoir — so titled after a slur for Native Americans who are supposedly “red on the outside, white on the inside” — is painful and poetic, a journey through Eric Gansworth’s personal life and the history of hurts exacted upon his family and all of the Onondaga Nation.
