Description
“Drew Hayden Taylor is one of those dangerous writers who knows the potential of humour, and how far it can reach into society, how deep it can cut, how quickly it can heal.” —Thomas King, author of The Back of the Turtle
The Best of Funny, You Don't Look Like One is a collection of the author's handpicked favorites from the popular first three collections of stories about the clashes between Native life and those he calls the 'Colour-Challenged, Pigment-Denied People of the Pallor.' With laid-back humour, he addresses serious issues with a sensitivity that pokes holes in the stereotypes both Natives and non-Natives have of each other and themselves.
