Border Trickery and Dog Bones: A Conversation with Thomas King

Authors

  • Jennifer Andrews UNB

Abstract

Thomas King discusses whether or not he thinks Green Grass, Running Water is a Canadian novel, a Native novel, or both, the borders that cut between races, and the discomfort that the insider/outsider phenomenon creates for certain groups of readers. He also articulates his resistance to being labelled a comic writer and makes comparisons between Green Grass and Truth and Bright Water. He later discusses his radio show, Dead Dog Café, and his photography.
