Home waltz / G.A. Grisenthwaite. by Grisenthwaite, G. A., 1959- Palimpsest Press, 2020. Call #: FICTION GRI Subjects Indigenous youth -- Fiction.   Indigenous peoples -- Fiction.   Racially mixed people -- Fiction.   Racism -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781989287644 (trade pbk.) Description:  304 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "In 1973, fifteen-year old Qw?qw?sk?i?, or "Squito" Bob, is a mixed-blood N?e?kepmx boy trying to find his place in a small, mostly Native town. His closest friends are three n?e?kepmx boys and a white kid, an obnoxious runt who thinks himself superior to his friends. Accepted as neither Native nor white, Squito often feels like the stray dog of the group and envisions a short, disastrous life for himself. Home Waltz follows the boys over thirty-six hours on what should be one of the best weekends of their lives. With a senior girls volleyball tournament in town, Squito's favourite band performing, and enough alcohol for ten people, the boys dream of girls, dancing, and possibly romance. A story of love, heartbreak, and tragedy, Home Waltz delves into suicide, alcohol abuse, body image, and systemic racism. A coming of age story like no other, Home Waltz speaks to one Indigenous teenager's experience of growing up in a world that doesn't want or trust him." --Publisher. Genre:  Bildungsromans.
