Abstract

"This is the book that inspired the motion-picture directed by Bruce McDonald and produced by Norman Jewison, starring Ryan Black and Adam Beach. When it first came out, Dance Me Outside broke entirely new ground and it's as fresh today as the day it was written. Kinsella refuses to take a tragic (he would call it a sentimental) view of Indian life. His view is unrepentantly comic and his stories are extremely funny. Not that he laughs at the expense of Indians. On the contrary, it is the white man and his civilization that are seen to be absurd. Kinsella is known all over the country for books like Scars and Born Indians and for the classic film, Field of Dreams. But Dance Me Outside is still his best, a classic of its kind, chaste, infectious, irresistible."--Back cover.
