Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Originally published in Canada in 1977, and only now available in the United States, this collection by a white writing from an Indian perspective offers many delights, chief of which are the good storytelling, the ingenue as central narrator, the moderately exotic setting (Alberta), and the human values that charge every scene. Characters that are now stock (the fat medicine woman, the Indian girl marrying not necessarily up but off the reserve) join absolute originals in a series of alternately poignant, dramatic, frightening, depressing, and comic incidents. Reappearing characters and a modified dialect make for some minor repetitions (the stories first appeared separately) but also serve to unify the collection. Recommended for most libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be a must read of american literature, Oct 2 2002
By Lyle (Olympia) - See all my reviews
Everybody's used to sad insightful writing. Rarely do we find graceful funny twists on life's injustices. These short stories present a native view of a changing world that makes you remember home.
We are all familiar with the immigrant's stories; now, here are the natives, human, funny and enduring. As one who has lived on "the res", and heard the laughter of my family down the halls, I am thankful for these writings. As a baseball fan, I am unsurprised that these are given to us by the same man who presented Shoeless Joe to our hungry hearts.
