He has been nominated twice for Governor General's Awards, and his first novel, Medicine River, has been transformed into a CBC movie. His books have been reviewed in publications such as The New York Times Book Review, The Globe and Mail, and People magazine. King is also the author of the serialized radio series The Dead Dog Cafe and is an accomplished photographer. Border Crossings is the first full-length study to explore King's art. Davidson, Walton, and Andrews employ a framework of postcolonial and border studies theory to examine the concepts of nation, race, and sexuality in King's work. They examine how King's art routinely explores cross-cultural dynamics, including Native rights and race relations, American and Canadian cultural interaction, and the artistic traditions of Europe and North America. The authors argue that, by situating these concepts within a comic framework, King avoids the polemics that often surface in cultural critiques. His writing engages, entertains, and educates. This provocative analysis of King's art reads across cultures and between borders, and makes an important contribution to the study of Native writing, Canadian and American literature, border studies, and humour studies. 606 $aLiterature and society$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndians in literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aIndians in literature. 676 $a813/.54 700 $aDavidson$b Arnold E.$f1936-$01642355 702 $aWalton$b Priscilla L. 702 $aAndrews$b Jennifer Courtney Elizabeth$f1971- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818574803321 996 $aBorder crossings$93986988 997 $aUNINA
