Abstract

Take a trip across British Columbia with this enchanting collection of essays from thirty local writers. What makes wandering the vibrant land called British Columbia really special? Encounters with locals who are ready to share—over a coffee or a beer—quirky tales and powerful truths rooted in place and time. Consider this book a meet-up with 30 such storytellers—the perfect road companion for your journey real or imagined. The Tyee is the province's oldest and most-read independent source of online news and ideas. Renowned for its range of voices on politics, culture and nature. This anthology marking The Tyee's 20th anniversary includes pieces published over the last two decades and includes the distinct perspectives of some of the region's most celebrated writers—including J.B. MacKinnon, Alisa Smith, Cúagilákv (Jess H̱a̱usṯi), Arno Kopecky, Harrison Mooney, Michelle Cyca, Christopher Cheung, Andrew Nikiforuk, and many more—as well as illustrations by Nora Kelly.
