The Moon of Letting Go and Other Stories

Richard Van Camp writes powerfully and humorously with a range of voices: a violent First Nations gangster has an astonishing spiritual experience, a single mother is protected from her ex by a dangerous medicine man, a teenage boy discovers love and responsibility, and a group of young men pay tribute to a friend by streaking through their northern community. The stories are set in the Northwest Territories, and in urban and rural British Columbia. Van Camp is consistently and authentically optimistic, and his stories are united by the notion of healing through individual and community bonds.

A Dogrib (Tlicho) Dene from Fort Smith, NWT, now living in Edmonton, Richard Van Camp is an internationally renowned storyteller and best-selling author. His previous work includes The Lesser Blessed.
