Fire And Rain

by Thomas King

Genres: General Fiction

Synopsis

A man who used to be happily married (but now is not) goes out to see a movie. He’s late or early for all the shows, so he takes a walk and ends up—where else?—at a James Taylor concert.

A Short History of Indians in Canada, Thomas King’s bestselling collection of twenty tales, is a comic tour de force, showcasing the author at his hilarious and provocative best. With his razor-sharp observations and mystical characters, including the ever-present and ever-changing Coyote, King pokes a sharp stick into the gears of the Native myth-making machine, exposing the underbelly of both historical and contemporary Native-White relationships. Through the laughter, these stories shimmer brightly with the universal truths that unite us.
