5.0

Part autobiography, part narrative fiction, part magical realism, etc. with some tough themes about SA, trauma, etc. One of the things that makes “Split Tooth” beautiful is the way Tagaq talks about the environment, animal spirits, the northern lights, etc. and how it ties into the narrative and cultural beliefs and practices. I read in other reviews that if you listen to the audiobook she narrates it herself and incorporates throat singing between each section which I imagine would lend itself to a whole new, raw experience. I think it would be worth revisiting.

This book was a quick, beautiful and wild ride. I am so curious as to where the memoir aspect blended into fiction. What is the truth? Regardless of my curiosity, it is clear that isn't the point. 

Poetic, odd, easy to blaze through and leaves you wondering.
