A knife-sharp new collection of stories and songs from
award-winning Nishnaabeg storyteller and writer Leanne Betasamosake
Simpson that rebirths a decolonized reality, one that circles in
and out of time and resists dominant narratives or comfortable
categorization. This Accident of Being Lost is the knife-sharp new
collection of stories and songs from award-winning Nishnaabeg
storyteller and writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. These visionary
pieces build upon Simpson's powerful use of the fragment as a tool
for intervention in her critically acclaimed collection Islands of
Decolonial Love. A crow watches over a deer addicted to road salt;
Lake Ontario floods Toronto to remake the world while texting
“ARE THEY GETTING IT?”; lovers visit the last remaining corner
of the boreal forest; three comrades guerrilla-tap maples in an
upper middle-class neighbourhood; and Kwe gets her firearms license
in rural Ontario. Blending elements of Nishnaabeg storytelling,
science fiction, contemporary realism, and the lyric voice, This
Accident of Being Lost burns with a quiet intensity, like a
campfire in your backyard, challenging you to reconsider the world
you thought you knew.
