Sparse and dreamy, Griffin Bjerke-Clarke's debut novel explores memory, identity, trauma, and healing through a timeless journey. An anti-colonial, He Who Would Walk the Earth is infused with Métis storytelling methods and elements of horror, that powerfully evokes a mood reminiscent of twentieth-century classics like Waiting for Godot. This book unsettles as much as it stokes, dystopian in Felix's apathy yet optimistic in the way he addresses challenges along his listless way. In the end, Felix must learn from his earnest mistakes as he begins to understand that agency requires collaborating with those around him.

ROTH, with visionary illustrator Christopher Shy is the first graphic novel in the Wheetago War series, and feels like Supernatural series! Widely available for anyone interested in getting Richard's books for themselves or as a gift this time of year.
