Description

Larry Gibbons spent ten years on a Mi’kmaw reserve—held there by his love for a woman, not by any typical white role such as priest or social worker or teacher. Stirred by the tenderness, tenacity, and flexibility of Mi’kmaw extended family, and challenged by a native spirituality so different from his own upbringing, Gibbons found his voice as a writer. Out of that he created the remarkable stories in White Eyes. In a writing style that is casual but rigorous, Gibbons’ voice—always passionate, often confused, frequently marvelously comedic—offers a unique bridge between white and native culture, even as he entertains with a sharp, self-deprecating eye.
