Morgan Talty cracks open life on Maine's Penobscot Reservation to create a rich narrative infused with doubt, rage, frustration, sorrow, and occasional moments of deep joy. His consideration of gender and race and history and ephemerality are all thoughtful and original, and his wit is sharp. I felt honored to read this brilliant novel.
