Abstract:
"A graphic-novel adaptation based on the work of one of Canada’s most revered and bestselling authors. “What side do you come from?” On a trip to visit his older sister, who moved away from the family home to Salt Lake City, a young boy and his mother are posed a simple question with a not so simple answer. And when border guards will not accept their citizenship, mother and son wind up trapped in an all-too-real limbo between nations that do not recognize who they are. A powerful graphic novel adaptation of the Thomas King short story, Borders explores themes of identity, belonging, and is a poignant depiction of the significance of a nation’s physical borders from an Indigenous perspective. One of Thomas King’s most celebrated pieces of short fiction is brought to vibrant, piercing life by the singular vision of artist Natasha Donovan."-- Provided by publisher.
General Note:
"The text of Borders was previously published, in slightly different form, as the short story 'Borders' in Thomas King's One Good Story, That One, originally published in 1993 by HarperCollins Publishers, Ltd."
