À propos de cet audio
Born into a magical Cree world in snowy Northern Manitoba, Champion and Ooneemeetoo Okimasis are all too soon torn from their family and thrust into the hostile world of a Catholic residential school. Their language is forbidden, their names are changed to Jeremiah and Gabriel, and both boys are abused by priests.
As young men, estranged from their own people and alienated from the culture imposed upon them, the Okimasis brothers fight to survive. Wherever they go, the Fur Queen - a wily, shape-shifting trickster - watches over them with a protective eye. For Jeremiah and Gabriel are destined to be artists. Through music and dance they soar.

"Tomson Highway's prose is beautiful, lyrical.... Emotionally complex, witty, symphonic and sad, Kiss of the Fur Queen is a remarkable novel, filled with blood and guts, life and love." (The Vancouver Sun)
"Kiss of the Fur Queen is a novel of affirmation...a book full of feeling for the North [that] displays startling human insight...a novel that dances with life." (The Globe and Mail)
"Highway's depiction of the brothers' trapline births are among the most haunting and evocative pieces of writing to ever appear in Canadian literature. The playful yet hallowed tone of these early passages is pure magic.... The novel remains, at its core, a celebration of survival and of life lived." (Quill & Quire)
