"In his first novel, Kiss of the Fur Queen, noted playwright
Tomson Highway tells the story of two Cree brothers who were
severely abused at a Catholic residential school, and he uses the
full transformative power of magic and myth, as well as a
compelling traditional novel plot, to restore to them their dignity
and, by implication, that of their people."--"Toronto Globe and
Mail"
"Highway's novel vibrates with the force of the collision of two
cultures, the long history of a people living at one with nature,
and the violence of their enforced conversion to Christianity.
Emotionally complex, witty, symphonic and sad, Kiss of the Fur
Queen is a remarkable novel, filled with blood, guts, life and
love."--"Vancouver Sun"
