A Short History of Indians in Canada: Stories - Softcover

"[Thomas King is] at his best writing serious comedy about subjects close to his heart. The truth about his stories is that they'll leave you laughing, but they'll take a long time to leave you." --Vancouver Sun "Ultimately, A Short History of Indians in Canada can be read purely for its exuberance, storytelling, and wit, but there's no reason for the reader to settle for charm and escapism when, with just a little digging, you can have so much more." --Toronto Star "A master craftsman at work . . . In A Short History, we see King at work and at play in various narrative traditions: fable, tall tale, realistic story, magic-realist story. . . . Familiar and yet happily unpredictable." --Ken McGoogan, Globe and Mail

Winner of the McNally Robinson Aboriginal Book of the Year and the Aboriginal Fiction Book of the Year--a collection of twenty short stories told in Thomas King's classic, wry, irreverent, and allegorical voice.
