Kiss of the Fur Queen by Tomson Highway
4.0
This book was a bit tricky to get into — it’s not written as short stories, but (to me) it didn’t quite hold together as a novel. I’ll remember the vignettes — clearly and with admiration. But I’m not sure I hold the whole — though, maybe there’s a taste of reality in that.
I love Tomson Highway’s writing — the perspective of children, the perspective of folks from the land encountering religion and cities. His descriptive metaphors, built in the language of the North, are so good. The writing is funny and scary, innocent and sharp, magical and real. It’s probably brilliant.
