Book Details:
Son of a Trickster download ebook. Though an entertaining book, Son of a Trickster is an extremely negative representation of First Nations people. It's a good thing Robinson is a First Nations person herself, otherwise it's unlikely her book would have been short-listed for the Giller Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards in Canada. It's the type of book that shows "how the other half lives," and explains why they live this way. And then there's a twist (for lack of a better term) midway through that only further explains why life is this way for these people. It's a journey in character, a bilsdungroman for the son of a trickster. But it's weird the way he sometimes 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. Also, ravens have begun to speak to him-even when he's not stoned. You think you know Jared, but you don't. More than ten years after her Giller-shortlisted title Monkey Beach, Indigenous author and Writer's Trust Engel/Findley Award winner Eden Robinson returns with a striking and precise coming-of-age novel, in which everyday teen existence meets Indigenous beliefs, crazy family dynamics and cannibalistic river otters.

Son of a Trickster combines aboriginal belief systems and wacky family dynamics with fantasy, horror, and edgy, mordant humour in an unorthodox coming-of-age story. One of seventeen-year-old Jared Martin’s grandmothers insists that he is the son of Wee’git the Trickster, that dangerous shape-shifter who looks innocent but wreaks havoc.
