Customer Reviews

I am Thompson Highway!

I wrote this book back in '86 to cover a debt incurred during a rousing game of Kaiser in the Oshawa Tim Horton's. I never thought it would become so popular and I thank everyone especially Dr. Emily Moore, Professor of Latino-Apache Sesqueology at McGill University, for her undying support. She's a real firecracker!

Good

This book has so many ideas and themes running through it, and they were portrayed wonderfully. Although a little confusing in the beginning (and almost through the first reading) the themes and images are sharp and poignant. I like the idea of the fluidity of identity, be it religious, gender, or racial. Tomson Highway explores these themes in a very creative and thought provoking manner.
