Waubgeshig Rice is an author and journalist originally from Wasauksing First Nation. His first short story collection, Midnight Sweatlodge, was inspired by his experiences growing up in an Anishinaabe community, and won an Independent Publishers Book Award in 2012. His debut novel, Legacy, followed in 2014. He currently works as a multi-platform journalist for CBC in Sudbury. In 2014, he received the Anishinabek Nation’s Debwewin Citation for excellence in First Nation Storytelling. Waubgeshig now splits his time between Sudbury and Wasauksing.
"Perfect for those who read Iain Reid's Foe this summer and are
looking for something in the same vein." -- The Globe and Mail
"Moon of the Crusted Snow sets itself apart -- an apocalypse novel
in reverse." -- Globe and Mail
"Rice complicates and demands a rethinking of the apocalyptic
category itself, which is the book's greatest revelation and
strength ... Rice's writing is measured and he has a lovely ear for
the cadence of conversation -- humour, rage, and introspection all
coming through the dialogue ... Rice's story teaches, but it's not
didactic; it's original, and somehow takes the frenetic pace of a
crisis, slows it down, and shows us its parts." -- Canadian Notes &
Queries
"Rice seamlessly injects Anishinaabe language into the dialogue and
creates a beautiful rendering of the natural world ... This title
will appeal to fans of literary science fiction akin to Cormac
McCarthy as well as to readers looking for a fresh voice in
indigenous fiction." -- Booklist
"The creeping tension and vividly drawn landscapes make Waubgeshig
Rice's characters' choices all the more real." -- Toronto Star
"This slow-burning thriller is also a powerful story of survival
and will leave readers breathless." -- Publishers Weekly
