Warwick's, in partnership with Coronado Public Library, presents John Sayles as he discusses and signs his new book, To Save the Man, in conversation with Merridee Book. John Sayles is an American independent film director, screenwriter, actor, and novelist. He has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, for Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996). He has written eight novels, the most recent being Yellow Earth (2020) and Jamie MacGillivray: The Renegade's Journey (2023), which was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice.
In September of 1890, the academic year begins at the Carlisle School, a military-style boarding school for Indians in Pennsylvania, founded and run by Captain Richard Henry Pratt. Pratt considers himself a champion of Native Americans. His motto, "To save the man, we must kill the Indian," is severely enforced in both classroom and dormitory: Speak only English, forget your own language and customs, learn to be white. . .
