Green Grass Running Water by Thomas King

This novel should be read with a bit of background context in mind and probably at least twice. It's quite complex but also rewarding by the end, especially if you've done your homework. It's about the complexity of the characters in the novel and in the real world. It also approaches the idea of storytelling and the perspectives of why that story is told and through what lens. To find a balance between two cultures, histories and stories, King plays with the idea of mashing stories and themes together; the characters tell the stories, starting over and retelling them in different ways, trying to get the story just right. I found a lot of the characters to be quite charming and interesting.
