Shortlisted for the Dublin Literary AwardShortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award for FictionShortlisted for the ReLit Award for NovelNoopiming is Anishinaabemowin for ‘in the bush.’ In it, Simpson and a cast of seven – Akiwenzii, the old man; Ninaatig, the maple tree; Mindimooyenh, the old woman; Sabe, the giant; Adik, the caribou; and Asin and Lucy, younger humans – turn the tables on colonial myth-making, exposing the unnatural strangeness at the heart of settler-capitalism. With warm humour and canny observation, The Cure for White Ladies breaks open the self to a world still alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits.

Recensioner i media

‘This brilliant novel is a carefully curated mix of prose and poetry, though the narrative and poetic form never leaves either; at all times, there is a deliberate attention to rhythm, movement, and sound. The layered storytelling is rich with wry and undeniable humour and introduces readers to an incredible cast of characters, giving us the perspective of Elders, Indigenous youth, raccoons, geese, and trees, braiding together past, present, and future and intentionally centring Nishnaabe life and practices.’ Globe and Mail
