Synopsis

A deft, fast-paced excursion into the worlds of the Native American, of the gambling casino, of sports and sex. Will Fox, the young Seneca protagonist of The All American Game, is a bright wiseguy who is a lacrosse star. After a dangerous, soul-searching stint in jail, Will tries to go straight by attending an elite, almost all-white Ivy League-type college. He’s in and out of trouble in the classroom, on the lacrosse field and in the winner-take-all attempt to secure a gambling casino for the Iroquois. In the quest for the gambling mecca he’s the protégé of his unforgettable grandfather, Standing Bear, who has an ingrained distrust—alright, hatred—of the white man. The reader’s tossed back and forth as Will makes the challenging sometimes instantaneous commute between two very different cultures. Meanwhile, Will’s off-and-on devotion to his Mohawk love Anne runs into complications when he becomes involved with an upscale young white woman. The exciting climax of the public action comes when the Tribe inches very close to a deal for a casino with the New York State legislature.
