Book Overview
Before internationally acclaimed author Joseph Boyden penned his bestselling novel Three Day Road and his Scotiabank Giller Prize winning novel, Through Black Spruce, he published a powerful collection of thirteen stories about modern Aboriginal life that made readers and reviewers take notice. These stories of love, loss, rage and resilience match virtuosic style with clever wit to turn stereotypes on their head and reveal the traditions and grace of our First Peoples. Readers come to know a butterfly-costumed boy fascinated by the world of professional wrestling, a young woman who falls in love with a wolf, to the leader of an all-girl Native punk band and Painted Tongue, the unforgettable character from Through Black Spruce. Though each story is told in a different and distinct voice, they are all united by their captivating vitality, nuanced perceptions and vigorous prose."

Interesting portrait of life on the reservation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Joseph Boyden writes with a unique style that keeps the reader fully involved with the characters. His stories can be both amusing and brutally descriptive. His first novel "The Three Day Road" was one of those "can't put it down" books. Both the novel and the book of short stories have something in common. Even if you check back numerous times, you are still never sure what actually happens to the characters. Makes for interesting discussions with others that have read the books.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
