( ) Henry offers us a novel which is both dislocated and careful intertwined. There is a dichotomy of balance and seperation in this book which readers may find, initially, hard to grasp. By this, I mean that the story is forever shifting narrative perspective, voice and style. It is not a traditional novel, it is not comfortable and it is not easy. However, it is a deeply facinating and enthralling read. Allow yourself to not understand, embrace the abstract nature of the book and you will be rewarded. The book concerns itself about a leg. A leg of an old man which was meant to be buried, but the ceremony is interrupted by a snow storm. Enter the anthropologists and a whole drama about ownership, about ritual and about colonisation. Amongst Henry's abstractness there is an enthralling, entertaining, funny and dramatic story to be read. Not a book for all readers, not a light read or a page turner but certainly a book worth the effort of your time. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"The Light People is a multi-genre novel that includes a series of nested stories about a tribal community in Northern Minnesota. Major themes include Oskinaway's search for his parents and the legal wrangling over the possession of a leg that has been removed from a tribal elder. Each story is linked to previous and successive stories to form a discourse on identity and cultural appropriation, all told with humor and wisdom."--BOOK JACKET.
