The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative by Thomas King
5.0
I listened to the actual lecture the book is a transcript of. And considering the content, I think that's the best way to consume these stories. I did, however, read the story at the end: the one King intended to be read and not listened to.
I think King did a fantastic job narrating the stories in his lecture. He makes great points about differing Indigenous cultures, as well as those cultures compared to Western/Christian cultures. It was also refreshing to see a man's perspective on women that isn't awful.
King is funny and respectful, but he's also honest. And it was incredibly refreshing.
5/5 stars
