Tainna: The Unseen Ones, Short Stories - Dunning, Norma

Clean, tight, unmarked; a few very light scratches on front cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Drawing on both lived experience and cultural memory, Norma Dunning brings together six powerful new short stories centered on modern-day Inuk experiences. Ranging from homeless to extravagantly wealthy, from spiritual to jaded, young to elderly, and even from alive to deceased, the protagonists in Tainna are united by shared feelings of alienation, displacement and loneliness resulting from their experiences in southern Canada. Norma Dunning's masterful storytelling uses humour and incisive detail to create compelling characters who discover themselves in a hostile land where prejudice, misogyny and inequity are most often found hidden in plain sight.
