REVIEWS: 'Medicine Walk,' by Richard Wagamese, and 'Raising Wild,' by Michael P. Branch

A slim, beautiful and painful novel written by Canadian Ojibwa author Richard Wagames, is a story of Franklin Starlight, Franklin Starlight is a 16-year-old Indian boy who lived in the mountains of British Columbia until the end of the last century is. A merciful white farmer who started him from childhood

Franklin was pleased with his peaceful life in the farm and the wilderness, but he became increasingly intrigued about where he came from. When he was born to a poor alcohol addict who lived in a nearby factory town, he wrote that he was dead, in order to see that boy, Franklin reluctantly abandoned his aged dorm went to. His father once took Franklin to take him to the nearby mountains and asked him to "sit like a warrior" and let him disappoint in the past. Franklin reluctantly agreed to do so

During their short and painful journey, his father spoke to him the experience of his war and some painful stories about the boy's deceased mother. The mystery of life and death. The depiction of the father's death time is both image and pain, and Franklin is simple and beautiful to struggle to learn what he has learned. Wagemese is a wonderful writer, this is a treasure book

The arrogance of the book is encapsulated in the title. The writer Michael Branch moved with his family to a remote ridge in the plateau of the Northwest Nevada. This is very wild, this is where he and his wife bring up two daughters.

So, this is a book about adapting to the wilderness, raising a daughter in the wild. Their neighbors are not humans, but antelope, chatter, and a burden.

This book is hot and cold. The faculty is a professor of literature and the environment and can write interesting styles. His chapter on antelope adaptation to species hunted by long-term predators inspires those who run at a slower pace. Section explains why we are physically slow

He is full of fun and explains his success in the war against strategists who are threatening to break family balance by invading their families. Likewise, he did not protect a small herbivorous animal at all he planted a garden with two young daughters and was characterized by coyotes urine. He conveyed the fear of a strange flame that almost swallowed a lonely house.

Unfortunately, this book is a collection of papers published earlier and needs to be organized more strictly. Articles on humble articles in the National Toy Hall of Fame are out of place. The same can be said about the instant interpretation of "voice of music" unrelated to the daily life of the family in addition to the daughter's commitment to the musical.

The last book was preserved by Cohen 's careful observation and response to the two daughters who grew up in this wild environment. Maybe ten years later, we will accept this experiment.

Richard Wagamese's last novel, Indian Horse, completed the incredible feat of celebrating the most popular entertainment in the country, hockey in the country, and the horror of the Canadian residential school system. His follow-up to horses in India - in the medical way, Wagamese delicately tries to enrich the moving story of those dying to his teen son North American Natives and Jews - Christian Mixes religious images. Eldon Starlight is dying. The partner 's "flash of light", a "semi - variant" roving worker, and his barely middle - aged bodies were devastated by decades of alcoholism and painful life. Eldon summoned Franklin, his 16 - year - old son who felt he was about to die due to liver failure. Franklin had been suffering for a long time because he broke his father's lies and promises, but he still visited a nearby person's town person. Inside, his father died at a dirty flop house
