The Truth about Stories: A Native Narrative King ThomasPaperback
Stories are wondrous things. In The Truth About Stories, Native novelist and scholar Thomas King explores how stories shape who we are and how we understand and interact with other people. And they are dangerous.
With wry humor, King deftly weaves events from his own life as a child in California, an academic in Canada, and a Native North American with a wide-ranging discussion of stories told by and about Indians. From creation stories to personal experiences, historical anecdotes to social injustices, racist propaganda to works of contemporary Native literature, King probes Native culture's deep ties to storytelling. So many stories have been told about Indians, King comments, that there is no reason for the Indian to be real.
The Indian simply has to exist in our imaginations. That imaginative Indian that North Americans hold dear has been challenged by Native writers - N. Scott
