About This Item
Toronto: HarperCollins Publishers 978-1-44343-162-0 [978-1-44343-162-0] 2014, 1st printing. (Hardcover) 518pp. Very good plus in near fine dust jacket. The front cover is very lightly soiled. "The Back of the Turtle draws on Christian and Native mythology and on King's own unmistakable instinct for mischief to give us a cockeyed Garden of Eden for our times. Showcasing King's brilliant wit and trademark wordplay, this is a funny, smart, sometimes confounding, and altogether unforgettable tale of betrayal, salvation, and the resilience of life". (Fiction--Canada, Fiction--Canada, Indigenous Peoples--Canada, Mythology).
