Split Tooth
Summary
From the internationally acclaimed Inuit throat singer who has dazzled and enthralled the world with music it had never heard before, a fierce, tender, heartbreaking story unlike anything you've ever heard. Fact can be as strange as fiction. It can also be as dark, as violent, as rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them. A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy and friendship and parents' love. She knows boredom and listlessness and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this. Veering back and forth between the grittiest features of a small arctic town, the electrifying proximity of the world of animals and ravishing world of myth, Tanya Tagaq explores a world where the distinctions between good and evil, animal and human, victim and transgressor, real and imagined lose their meaning, but the guiding power of love remains. Haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once, Tagaq moves effortlessly between fiction and memoir, myth and reality, poetry and prose, and conjures a world and a heroine listeners will never forget.

Croc fendu
Summary
Elle grandit au Nunavut dans les années 1970. Elle connaît la joie, l’amitié, l’amour des parents, l’art du camouflage et de la survie. Elle connaît l’ennui et l’intimidation. Elle connaît les ravages de l’alcool, la violence sourde, le courage d’aimer les petites peurs. Elle connaît le pouvoir des esprits. Elle scande en silence le pouvoir brut, amoral, de la glace et du ciel. Dans ce récit venu de loin, d’un espace intime et profond où les frontières s’effacent, Tanya Tagaq chronique les jours terribles d’un village écrasé sous le soleil de minuit, laissant dans la blancheur de la page l’empreinte sauvage d’une mythologie enchanteresse. Savant collage de descriptions hallucinées et de plongées intimistes, Croc fendu nous lance à la suite d’une héroïne inoubliable pour reconsidérer la différence entre le bon et le mauvais, l’animal et l’humain, le vrai et l’imaginé. Ici, la réalité se révèle aussi étrange que la fiction, à moins qu’il n’y ait jamais eu de différence entre les deux.

Write Your Novel from the Middle
Summary
A powerful secret and a fresh approach to writing bestselling fiction! What's the best way to write a "next level" novel? Some writers start at the beginning and let the story unfold without a plan. They are called "pantsers", because they write by the "seat of the pants". Other writers plan and outline and know the ending before they start. These are the "plotters". The two sides never seem to agree with each other on the best approach. But what if it's not the beginning or the end that is the key to a successful book? What if, amazing as it may seem, the place to begin writing your novel is in the very middle of the story? According to #1 bestselling writing teacher James Scott Bell, that's exactly where you'll find your story's heart and heat. Bell's "Mirror Moment" is the secret, and its power is available to any writer, at any stage of the writing process. Bringing together years of craft study and personal discovery, Bell presents a truly unique approach to writing a novel, one that will stand the test of time and serve you all your writing life.
