There are the standard markers of the hero's journey - the trials, the dark night of the soul, the lesson learned. From Printz honor author Eric Gansworth comes \u003ci\u003eMy Good Man\u003c\/i\u003e, a literary tour-de-force sure to turn the genre on its head. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrian, a 20-something reporter on the \u003ci\u003eNiagara Cascade\u003c\/i\u003e's City Desk, is navigating life as the only Indigenous writer in the newsroom, being lumped into reporting on stereotypical stories that homogenize his community, the nearby Tuscarora reservation. But when a mysterious roadside assault lands Tim, the brother of Brian's mother's late boyfriend in the hospital, Brian must pick up the threads of a life that he's abandoned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe resulting narrative takes us through Brian's childhood and slice of life stories on the reservation, in Gansworth's signature blend of crystal sharp, heartfelt literary realist prose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut perhaps more importantly, it takes us through Brian's attempt to balance himself between Haudenosaunee and American life, between the version of his story that would prize the individual over all else and the version of himself that depends on the entire community's survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Levine Querido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646141838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Gansworth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42362491109557,"sku":"9781646141838","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a86d2713-644b-4bf5-bc07-12ed0e11edee.jpg?v=1662436194","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/my-good-man-9781646141838","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
