Une collection extraordinaires qui passe entre mythe et vie (des fois beaucoup trop) quotidien d'amour, d'haine et de famille. Cette traduction de la collection de Simpson manque aucun de la beauté de l'original; le français, langue souvent portant le pois du colonialisme, se tient à côté de l'anishinaabe difficilement, mais avec une tension nécessaire. Absolument a lire, en anglais ou en français.

This book is such a gorgeous work of art. I’m so thrilled this was assigned to me for class. Prose is out of this world and the vignette style stories worked perfectly. Every word felt like it was exactly where it was supposed to be

An incredibly powerful, slim volume of short stories by an incredibly powerful Indigenous activist. If you can listen to the audiobook, I highly recommend it! You can get it on the Libby app through you local library. If you don't know what that is, ask any of your friendly local librarians <3
