THOMAS KING, a renowned storyteller, novelist and esteemed Native scholar, tells a tale like no one else. Tackling some of the most difficult events in our continent’s history, The Inconvenient Indian is at once wide-ranging and incisive – and always fascinating and fair. As he delicately balances the gravity of profoundly divisive issues with humour, optimism and intelligence, King both charms and informs.

The Inconvenient Indian is powerful, important reading for all Canadians.
