What comes to mind when you think about Native Americans? If you're currently thinking about cliché-riddled men in feathers dancing around a campfire or silently standing behind problematic white Hollywood actors, you might want to consider picking up a copy of this book.

I'll admit, I'm a rather emotional person. But if a book is so impactful in its storytelling that I repeatedly have to put it down just to regain my composure, then that is quite remarkable-even for my standards.

Some of you may remember that I recently reviewed another book by Karagatsis, "The Great Chimera."
Book review: The Extinction of Irena Rey
"The Extinction of Irena Rey" is a well-crafted, witty book filled with fascinating titbits and one of my favourite novels of 2024.

Book review: Love at Six Thousand Degrees
The first thing that stood out to me about "Love at Six Thousand Degrees" by Japanese author Maki Kashimada was that there are no breaks in the story.
Book review: Black Foam
One of my favourite experiences is starting a new book and feeling lukewarm about it, only to be left utterly impressed by its story by the end. And this is exactly what happened with "Black Foam" by Eritrean author Haji Jabir.
