With striking originality and precision, Eden Robinson, the Giller-shortlisted author of the classic Monkey Beach
and winner of the Writers Trust Engel/Findley Award, blends humour with
heartbreak in this compelling coming-of-age novel. Everyday teen
existence meets indigenous beliefs, crazy family dynamics, and
cannibalistic river otter . . . The exciting first novel in her
trickster trilogy.
Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the
burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary mom
who's often wasted and wielding some kind of weapon. Jared does smoke
and drink too much, and he does make the best cookies in town, and his
mom is a mess, but he's also a kid who has an immense capacity for
compassion and an impulse to watch over people more than twice his age,
and he can't rely on anyone for consistent love and support, except for
his flatulent pit bull, Baby Killer (he calls her Baby)--and now she's
dead.
Jared can't count on his mom to stay sober and stick
around to take care of him. He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills
and support his new wife and step-daughter. Jared is only sixteen but
feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look
out for his elderly neighbours. But he struggles to keep everything
afloat...and sometimes he blacks out. And he puzzles over why his
maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a
trickster, that he isn't human. Mind you, ravens speak to him--even
when he's not stoned.
You think you know Jared, but you don't.
