Club Protocol Release: Through Black Spruce KINDLE MOBI Joseph Boyden H.A. (Size: 593.97 KB)
Description Through Black Spruce, Joseph Boyden's "follow up" novel to Three Day Road, and winner of the coveted "Giller Prize for Literature", is a wholly self-contained work of art and yet a mutually dependent part of a larger narrative. Like its predecessor, Through Black Spruce is peopled with traditional figures such as the windigo. In its narrative design Through Black Spruce closely echoes Three Day Road by adapting oral traditions of storytelling. Boyden again relies on two narrators from different generations who take turns in relating their interwoven life stories. The first of these is the legendary Cree bush pilot Will Bird who, as it soon turns out, is the son of Xavier Bird, one of the protagonists of Three Day Road. Will's counterpart is his niece Annie Bird. She, in a way, is the successor to Xavier's aunt Niska. Annie has inherited Niska's ability to see into the future and to heal, a "gift that pops up in our family once in a while." Despite these similarities and continuities, Boyden's second novel is more than a mere sequel to his successful debut. It is in itself Boyden's second "masterpiece" - A story that can be read on it's own while complimenting its predecessor.
