Description
A Minor Chorus A Novel by Billy-Ray Belcourt This debut novel brings the modern queer and Indigenous experience into sharp focus. The story follows a queer Indigenous doctoral student as he navigates the pressures of academic life and grapples with his own identity. Through a series of encounters, he reflects on his childhood on the reservation and his new life in the urban intelligentsia. As the narrator chronicles his experiences, memories of a cousin caught in the cycle of police violence and survival haunt him. The possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance, with colonialism stacking the odds. This powerful and poignant novel shines a light on the realities of Indigenous survival, introducing the dazzling literary voice of a Lambda Literary Award winner to the United States.
