Born With A Tooth by Joseph Boyden
Before internationally acclaimed author Joseph Boyden penned his bestselling novel Three Day Road and his Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning novel, Through Black Spruce, he published a powerful collection of thirteen stories about modern Aboriginal life that made readers and reviewers take notice. These stories of love, loss, rage and resilience match virtuosic style with clever wit to turn stereotypes on their head and reveal the traditions and grace of our First Peoples. Readers come to know a butterfly-costumed boy fascinated by the world of professional wrestling, a young woman who falls in love with a wolf, to the leader of an all-girl Native punk band and Painted Tongue, the unforgettable character from Through Black Spruce. Though each story is told in a different and distinct voice, they are all united by their captivating vitality, nuanced perceptions and vigorous prose.Joseph Boyden's first two novels were nominated for nearly every literary award in Canada. The Rogers Writers Trust Prize, the McNally Robinson Aboriginal Book of the Year, the Canadian Authors Association Book of the Year, the Libris Book of the Year, and the Amazon/Canada First Novel Award were all given to Three Day Road in 2005. The Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Libris Novel of the Year, and the Libris Author of the Year were all awarded to Through Black Spruce (2008). Boyden received the Diamond Jubilee Medal from Queen Elizabeth II in 2012 for his services to Canadian art and culture. The Orenda was the best-selling book in the country the following year. He splits his time between Northern Ontario and New Orleans, Louisiana, as a professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and the Institute of American Indigenous Arts in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
