Praise for Medicine Walk: "Wagamese has penned a complex, rugged,
and moving father-son novel. His muscular prose and spare tone
complement this gem of a narrative.".--Publishers Weekly [STARRED
review] "Wagamese is a keen observer, sketching places ("stars in
the thick purple swaddle of the sky") or people ("He leaned when he
walked, canted at a hard angle to the right as though gravity
worked with different properties on him") elegantly, economically,
all while gracefully employing literary insight to deftly dissect
blood ties lingering in fractured families. A powerful novel of
hard men in hard country reminiscent of Jim Harrison's Legends of
the Fall.--Kirkus "Richard Wagamese is a born storyteller."
--Louise Erdrich "Richard Wagamese has become a master. This
brilliant novel (Medicine Walk) is his heart song, his crowning
achievement thus far."
--Joseph Boyden "A deeply felt and profoundly moving novel, written
in the kind of sure, clear prose that brings to mind the work of
the great North American masters like Steinbeck. But Wagamese's
voice and vision are also completely his own, as is the important
and powerful story he has to tell."
--Jane Urquhart "Medicine Walk is a masterpiece, a work of art that
explores human interconnectedness with a level of artistry so
superb that the personal becomes eternal."
--National Post "This is very much a novel about the role of
stories in our lives, those we tell ourselves about ourselves and
those we agree to live by . . . Wagamese understands that the
stories we don't tell are as important as the ones we do . . . But
Medicine Walk is also testament to the redemptive power of love and
compassion."
