Brave Sucker a short story edition by Mel Murphy Literature Fiction eBooks
Written with thoughtful, multifaceted characters combined with an easygoing narrative, Brave Sucker is an enthralling read. The outsider status of the main character, Reese, within his Native American Community leads to obvious parallels to Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. But the social tension between the main characters of these respective stories and their native communities also warrants the comparison. In the case of Reese, his tension lies in his transvestite nature, which leads to bullying and his outsider status. Author Mel Murphy is able to capture the anguish Reese has in being an outsider due to his transvestite nature while highlighting the brutality of the actions taken against him by members of his community. Interspersing this conflict is an easygoing narrative that displays Reese’s reactions to the obstacles in his life. Murphy is also able to wield considerable descriptive prose that peppers the story with tremendous descriptions. All in all, Brave Sucker is a phenomenal read not just for someone struggling with their communal acceptance but a for anyone that enjoys reading about the realistic troubles people who are “different” face in many societies today. This is a marvelous story and I would highly recommend for anyone, but especially young adults and teenagers.Product details

Brave Sucker a short story edition by Mel Murphy Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A nice story – vivid and touching, with a memorable main character whom I would like to meet in real life. Told with insight and empathy and a strong sense of place. I’d definitely like to read more.
Mel Murphy has great insight into the Western U.S. people and their personalities. Her descriptions of places were very colorful and at many times hilarious. I’m looking forward to reading more of Murphy’s stories.
Murphy has a clean style and well-drawn characters. The story -- of a Native American transvestite boy in a traditional Indian family and who is surrounded by a prejudiced community -- moves quickly, yet is rich in detail. Highly recommended.
