Description
Further Adventures of a Blue-Eyed Ojibway is the sequel to the popular Funny, You Don't Look Like One. This all-new second collection of stories and articles is divided into the following themes: "Adventure in Indian Country," "Listomania (The Books of Lists)," "A Horse of a Different Culture (Pros and Cons of Being Who You Are)" and "Straight from the Art (Movies, Plays and Books)." As with the first collection, Further Adventures of a Blue-Eyed Ojibway provides a humorous, insightful look into Aboriginal cultures and issues by one of the most prolific Aboriginal playwrights and columnists in Canada.
About the author
Ojibway writer Drew Hayden Taylor is from the Curve Lake Reserve in Ontario. Hailed by the Montreal Gazette as one of Canada’s leading Native dramatists, he writes for the screen as well as the stage and contributes regularly to North American Native periodicals and national NEWSpapers. His plays have garnered many prestigious awards, and his beguiling and perceptive storytelling style has enthralled audiences in Canada, the United States and Germany. His 1998 play Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth has been anthologized in Seventh Generation: An Anthology of Native American Plays, published by the Theatre Communications Group. Although based in Toronto, Taylor has travelled extensively throughout North America, honouring requests to read from his work and to attend arts festivals, workshops and productions of his plays. He was also invited to Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute in California, where he taught a series of seminars on the depiction of Native characters in fiction, drama and film. One of his most established bodies of work includes what he calls the Blues Quartet, an ongoing, outrageous and often farcical examination of Native and non-Native stereotypes.
