Hi, everyone.
I’m the luckiest guy I know: I am sent great books and graphic novels by authors and publishers I believe in–often by nagging. I’m currently reading Dawn Dumont’s novel/memoir Nobody Cries at Bingo (Thistledown Press), and here we have a new Aboriginal voice of a young Cree and Metis girl growing up in Okanese First Nation country with a real family with real challenges. It’s funny, moving, honest. Dawn has the wit of Lee Maracle and the humour of Eden Robinson. I’m four chapters in and giggling. I am going to ease into this novel slowly as I can tell it’s a winner.

Happy New Year to all!
