Bøker av Jordan Zinovich

Blending fact and fiction, prose and poetry, Jordan Zinovich reconstructs one of history's most charismatic, yet enigmatic, figures. Gabriel Dumont in Paris retells the events leading up to the Northwest Rebellion through the eyes of Dumont and those who surround him. Many voices clash and mingle in this story, guided always by Dumont's own rememberings. My breath explodes, consuming naked trees. Above the coughing rifles Riel is bellowing: Fight on my brave M?tis. You are the chosen ones in this New World. ... When I part the brush Riel cries: Uncle Gabriel! We are beaten. What now? "But Louis, you must always have known that we would be beaten. We are defeated, so now we perish. Now they destroy us. Now you teach me the lessons I must take from this."
