About the Author:

Thomas King is one of Canada’s premier Native public intellectuals. He was the first Aboriginal person to deliver the prestigious Massey Lectures, and he is the best-selling, award-winning author of six novels, two collections of short stories, and two nonfiction books. His work The Inconvenient Indian won the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction and the RBC Taylor Prize. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada and lives in Guelph, Ontario.

Review:
"There’s a sly, tart intelligence at work in many of these stories. . . . The writing is taut, sharp-edged, and very funny." —Globe and Mail


"These stories clearly display King’s trademark wit and intelligence, his facility with characterization, and his mastery of narrative art." —The Ottawa Citizen
