#12BooksOf2022
Last, but definitely not least, my December favorite was the tagged book—Jones has become an automatic buy for me and he never disappoints. The other three, including a new graphic novel from Liu & Takeda, the team behind Monstress, were also entertaining reads.

pickThe book goes back & forth between two storylines—in the first, on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, readers see the life of Doby Saxon unfold through the eyes of those he encounters. In the second, set over a century earlier, readers follow an Indian Agent for the US government & the short & long term consequences of his decisions. Powerful, heartbreaking, & compelling, this book gives you lots to think about. Another great read from Jones.
Working my way through Jones‘s backlist and I‘m reading this one next.
...then perhaps the fitting equivalent to Hell for a white man would simply be to be forced to live life as one of his subjects.
pickOne of the most unusual novels l've read. Organised in a dual timeline, one in today's Blackfeet reservation, the other in the same place more than 100 years earlier.
In this second timeline, an lndian Agent writes letters to his betrothed about his life in the reservation. Letters he never sends out or even mean to send out. As the letters get more and more obsessive, we come to wonder whether this woman even exists.
