Description
Blending wit, irony, and sharp insight, this collection reimagines Native history through stories set in and around the modern Canadian city. Across twenty compact tales, Thomas King playfully challenges inherited narratives and invites readers to reconsider how Indigenous experience is recorded, remembered, and retold. With a focus on the paradigms of Native storytelling, the book moves between the comic and the provocative to explore identity, survival, and the power of narrative to reshape history. King’s distinctive, conversational style turns each story into both an engaging read and a thoughtful critique of the stories nations tell about themselves.
