4.0

I completely forgot to add this book after I read it in September for the First Peoples English Literature course I'm developing. I quite enjoyed many of these essays; Drew Hayden Taylor (a funny man, himself) has chosen several of the most well-known Aboriginal humour writers/performers in Canada to contribute essays for this collection, and many of the essays are both funny and insightful. They are a little bit uneven, but I thought the following were particular standouts: Kristina Fagan's essay about laughter and community, Karen Froman's essay about humour and academia, and Thomas King's essay about the CBC Radio One show he wrote and acted in, The Dead Dog Cafe.

I also laughed my head off at many of the jokes in the "intermissions" interspersed throughout the book.
