Book Signing & Reading: AN EVENING WITH THOMAS KING

Join us for an evening with celebrated author THOMAS KING in conversation with guest host KEN COATES.  Since it’s publication in 2012, THE INCONVENIENT INDIAN has become an award-winning bestseller and a modern classic.  In its pages, Thomas King tells the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Native and Indigenous people in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.  This new, provocatively illustrated edition matches essential visuals to the book’s urgent words, and in so doing deepens and expands King’s message.  With more than 150 images – from artwork, photographs, advertisements and archival documents to contemporary representations of Native peoples by Native peoples, including some by King himself – this unforgettable volume vividly shows how “Indians” have been seen, understood, propagandized, represented and reinvented in North America.
