’Rez Dog Blues & The Haiku: A Savage Life in Bits and Pieces’ is a harrowing journey of Indigenous self-discovery and survival in a violent and racist world. Set in the protagonist’s youth and written by someone who was there, William George Lindsay explores residential schools, the reservation, addiction, violence, and life as a runaway on the city streets of Canada. His Dickensian tale does not forget, however, the love, hope, humour, and courage that Indigenous People at the time exhibited, cultivated, and passed on as a way to survive and even thrive. Readers are taken on a phantasmagorical odyssey as the protagonist goes from angry member of the punk generation to a possible redemptive and reconciliatory future. But will he and his cohorts survive to make it that far? A brutal, hard, yet ultimately uplifting read, and one grounded in truth, ’Rez Dog Blues & The Haiku: A Savage Life in Bits and Pieces’ evokes prose, poetry, and music, telling a nuanced philosophical tale of life, death, and dignity amidst the chaos and carnage of the times.
