More about the book

"A very liberal contemporary couple? Angel, an urban Native science fiction writer, and Colleen, a?non-practising? Jewish intellectual who teaches Native literature? hosts a dinner party. The guests at this little?sitcom? soirée are couples that represent what by now have become the clichéd extremes of both societies: Angel?s former radical Native activist buddies and Colleen?s environmentally concerned vegetarian / veterinarian friends. The menu is, of course, the hosts? respectful attempt at shorthand for the irreconcilable cultural differences about to come to a head during the evening: moose roast and vegetarian lasagna."--Author
