About the author

Author's note: "The novel draws on my own experience and research in Quebec Inuit villages, where I worked as a teacher in the late 1970s. The students in my classes were among the first generation of their people to grow up in settlement houses. My acquaintance with traditional Inuit life draws on ethnographic and historical accounts, documentary reenactments produced by the National Film Board of Canada, and most important, firsthand journeys on the land with Inuit engaged in traditional activities."

Nowick Gray writes fiction and creative nonfiction that bends boundaries and confounds categories. He also works as a freelance copy editor and enjoys playing African drums. Having survived American suburbs, the Quebec Arctic and the BC wilderness, Nowick is now based on Canada’s West Coast, frequenting tropical locations in winter months.
