About This Item
Toronto:: HarperPerennial / Harper Collins,, (1993). First edition -. Near fine in illustrated wrappers with self-flaps (prev owner's name).. First printing, a trade paperback. A collection of ten short stories by this award-winning author, born in California but resident of Canada for many years, and who identifies as being of Cherokee and Greek descent. These stories are "steeped in native oral tradition, led off by a sly creation tale, introducing the traditional native trickster coyote. Weaving the realities of native history and contemporary life through the story, King recounts a parodic version of the Garden of Eden story, slyly pulling our leg and our funnybone." Named in the University of Toronto Bookstore Review as one of the top100 Canadian books of all time. 145 pp.
