"...a humourous tour through the languages and communities that have shaped the playwright, novelist, and musician as a person." January/February 2015 -- Quill & Quire "An incomparable storyteller with a knack for exaggeration so deft you'll think he's telling the truth, Highway elaborates on how he added Dene, Inuktitut, Latin, English, French and some Spanish to his lexicon... Learning new languages later in life is difficult, but let the power of language broaden your world, Highway encourages. Appreciate that multilingualism can hold this stunning country together--and give your children this gift, too." -- Dianne Meili Alberta Views
