The #MeToo and Time's Up movements have each cast light on the prevalence of sexual harassment in a variety of media industries. In this piece, I reflect on a college YAL seminar in which my students read Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian." The class discussion quickly became focused on Alexie himself and his surrounding accusations and subsequent admission of sexual misconduct. This piece seeks to catalog our conversation in hopes that as teachers, we may come to our own conclusions about silence, voice, choice, and when we can or should ever judge characters in art by the character of the artist.
