The man who fell in love with the moon

Shed, a half-Indian bisexual boy, works at a brothel in the Old West town of Excellent, Idaho, at the turn of the century. He feels a growing need to understand his Indian heritage and the meaning of his name, Duivichi-un-Dua, given to him by his murdered mother. Shed journeys across the plains to find his people, encountering a range of unique characters and learning about his traditions. His quest for identity culminates upon his return to Excellent, where he witnesses brutal tragedies that lead him to profound wisdom.
