"Speaking one language, I submit, is like living in a house with
one window only..." From his legendary birth in a snow bank in
northwestern Manitoba, through his metamorphosis to citizen-artist
of the world, playwright, pianist, polyglot, storyteller, and
irreverent disciple of the Trickster, Tomson Highway rides
roughshod through the languages and communities that have shaped
him. Cree, Dene, Latin, French, English, Spanish, and the universal
language of music have opened windows and widened horizons in
Highway's life. Readers who can hang on tight-Highway fans, culture
mavens, cunning linguists, and fellow tricksters-will experience
the profundity of Highway's humour, for as he says, "In Cree, you
will laugh until you weep."
