Book
Beautiful beautiful / Brandon Reid.
"Twelve-year-old Derik Mormin travels with his father and a family friend to Bella Bella for his grandfather's funeral. Along the way, he uncovers the traumatic history of his ancestors, considers his relationship to masculinity and explores the contrast between rural and urban lifestyles in hopes of reconciling the seemingly unreconcilable: the beauty of both the Indigenous and "Western" ways of life -- hence beautiful beautiful. All right, that's quite enough third-person pandering; you're not fooling anyone. Redbird here, Derik's babysitter, and narrator of this here story. We're here to bring light to an otherwise grave subject, friends. Follow us through primordial visions. Dance with a cannibal (don't worry, they're friendly once tamed). And discover what it takes to be united." -- Back cover.
