Sparse and dreamy, Griffin Bjerke-Clarke's debut novel explores memory, identity, trauma, and healing through a timeless journey. An anti-colonial, He Who Would Walk the Earth is infused with Métis storytelling methods and elements of horror, that powerfully evokes a mood reminiscent of twentieth-century classics like Waiting for Godot. This book unsettles as much as it stokes, dystopian in Felix's apathy yet optimistic in the way he addresses challenges along his listless way. In the end, Felix must learn from his earnest mistakes as he begins to understand that agency requires collaborating with those around him.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

A recipient of the Order of the Northwest Territories, Richard Van Camp is a proud Tłı̨chǫ Dene from Fort Smith, NWT.  The author of over 30 books, including his latest, Beast which has been called the Indigenous Stranger Things.  Beast is an 80's nostalgic, hair-raising horror, teenage swaggering message about coming together in friendship, honouring tradition and forgiving past mistakes. ROTH, with visionary illustrator Christopher Shy is the first graphic novel in the Wheetago War series, and feels like Supernatural series!
