Kiss of the Fur Queen: American Indian Literature & Critical Studies (Paperback), cartea 34
Autor Tomson Highwayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2008
"In his first novel, Kiss of the Fur Queen, noted playwright Tomson Highway tells the story of two Cree brothers who were severely abused at a Catholic residential school, and he uses the full transformative power of magic and myth, as well as a compelling traditional novel plot, to restore to them their dignity and, by implication, that of their people.""Toronto Globe and Mail"
"Highway's novel vibrates with the force of the collision of two cultures, the long history of a people living at one with nature, and the violence of their enforced conversion to Christianity. Emotionally complex, witty, symphonic and sad, Kiss of the Fur Queen is a remarkable novel, filled with blood, guts, life and love.""Vancouver Sun""
