Aaron John Curtis is the author of Old School Indian, a novel about a 43-year-old man named Abe Jacobs. Abe has been told he is dying and has a year to live. The doctors in Miami can't help him so he goes north to the reservation to seek healing from his uncle Budge Billings. Abe lays on his uncle's bed with only his boxers on while his uncle massages his body and applies a healing ointment. This book is a striking exploration of love and family, culture and history.
