Synopsis

Nominated for the Upper Canada Writers’ Craft Award 2001

Almost a decade after its original publication, Joseph Boyden’s classic book of short stories is being reissued. Born With A Tooth, Boyden’s debut work of fiction, is a collection of thirteen beautifully written stories about aboriginal life in Ontario. By taking on a new voice in each story, Boyden explores aboriginal characters and traditions in a most unexpected way. Whether told by a woman trying to forget her past or by a drunken man trying to preserve his culture, each story paints an unforgettable and varied image of modern aboriginal culture in Ontario. The collection includes "Bearwalker," a story that introduces a character who appears again in his novel Three Day Road. An extraordinary first book, Born With A Tooth demonstrates why Joseph Boyden is a writer worth reading.
