One Fine Story, That...

Thomas King is a great writer, and an excellent storyteller as this collection of Massey Lectures displays. He is at his best when telling stories about stories and story telling. He never preaches, and his emphasis on oral tradition and its ability to save First Nations culture is important. He bogs down sometimes when he becomes political...some of it is obvious, some of it is dated. All in all though, this is a great little book for writers and readers alike.
