A brand new, funny check out growing up Native in the North, by award-winning writer Richard Vehicle Camp. Larry is a Dogrib Indian growing up in the tiny northern town of Fort Simmer. His tongue, his hallucinations and his fantasies are hotter than sunlight. At 16, he enjoys Flat iron Maiden, the North, and Juliet Desire, the senior high school "tramp". When Johnny Beck, a Metis from Hay River, moves to town, Larry is ready for nearly anything. With this powerful and often very funny first book, Richard Vehicle Camp gives us one of the most original teenage people in fiction. Skinny as spaghetti, nervy, and self-deprecating, Larry is an appealing combination of bravado and vulnerability. His recent supports many terrors: an abusive dad, blackouts from sniffing fuel, a major accident that killed many of his cousins. But through his a friendly relationship with Johnny, he's ready now to handle his memories - and his future. Marking the debut of an exciting new article writer, The Lesser Blessed is an eye-opening depiction of what it is usually to be a young Indigenous man in the age of AIDS, disillusionment with Catholicism, and an evergrowing world consciousness. A coming-of-age account that any enthusiast of The Catcher in the Rye will love.
