Synopsis

As a window into the magic and potential of the Northwest Territories, Richard Van Camp's fourth short story collection is hilarious and heartbreaking. A teenaged boy confesses to a vicious assault on a cross-dressing classmate; Lance tells the sensual story of becoming much closer to his wife's dear friend Juanita; while a reluctant giant catches up with gangsters Torchy and Sfen in a story with shades of supernatural and earthly menace. Night Moves continues to explore the incredible lives of Indigenous characters introduced in The Lesser Blessed , Angel Wing Splash Pattern , The Moon Of Letting Go, and Godless but Loyal to Heaven . If this is your first time to Fort Simmer and Fort Smith, welcome. If it's another visit, come on in: we've left the lights on for you.
