DANGEROUS STORIES: THE BACK OF THE TURTLE

摘要

A conversation between two characters highlights the main concerns in Thomas King's new novel: the destruction of the environment and the stories told about these catastrophes. In response to Gabriel's list of environmental disasters, Nicholas proclaims, "It's well and proper to write what must be seen and to speak what must be heard." Environmental issues as they affect Indigenous Peoples run through King's oeuvre, and he is certainly no stranger to narrative. In fact, he has spent much of his career explaining the centrality of stories to our lives.
