One Good Story, That One
It's a collection of short stories, by Canadian author, Thomas King
Thus far, it's wonderful. The title story features an amusing re-telling of Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Their new names?
Ah-damn and Evening.
Like the author, the main characters are Native. I enjoy the way King captures his characters' vocal cadences. As for "Totem"--which I finished last night--the story's images of wailing Totem poles still haunt me. In our society we still see the remnants of man's attempts to eliminate various cultures. In spite of our attempts to hide or overlook our collective history...We often don't know what to do when past evils bleed through to the present.
