Chester Brown's artful biography of Louis Riel and account of the Metis Rebellion is equal parts historical novel, and eulogy on colonialism, injustice, and heritage. Sparsely but finely drawn, well paced, researched and executed. No heavy handed narration despite the amendments and compression of the story, and a subject about which I knew absolutely nothing prior to reading it. Too many issues are included to discuss here, needless to say its illuminating and definitely well worth reading.
