A review by miraswan
Green Grass, Running Water by Thomas King

5.0

Funny and irreverent but so aware of itself! The humor would trickle away to face the reality this novel wants you to explore and you wouldn't even notice until you were done with the scene. It was just.... so well done. This novel took me on a journey from start to finish. While there were a lot of characters and storylines to keep track of throughout the story, it was definitely a novel which reads like someone telling you a story with all the pauses and restarts and backtracks to cover it. It delved into a lot of what it means to talk to someone rather than with them and how the culture of Indigenous people is treated throughout the world. Definitely worth the read.
