Next in the fiction section is the story of the American writer, a native of the Indian reservation Sherman Alexie (1966) “Because my father always said: I am the only Indian who saw with my own eyes Jimi Hendrix play “Stars and Stripes” at Woodstock flag"". “Why did this interpretation of the anthem so shock the Americans?” asks translator and author of the introduction Svetlana Silakova. And he answers: “Hendrix, without a single word, simply by playing the guitar, turned the national anthem into an denunciation of the Vietnam War.” But the story is not about that, or rather, not only about that.
