“Morgan’s incredible insight, unblinking frankness, and surprising tenderness combine to create an unforgettable voice. Razor-sharp critique and heartbreaking empathy are often juxtaposed throughout the book, creating the sort of nuanced cultural commentary that has been missing from Canada’s publishing landscape.”
—Alicia Elliott, Montreal Review of Books
“Morgan writes about: queer love and betrayal, the unexpected death of their white adoptive mother, being a prairie punk, the complex intersections of queer and Indigenous identities, and living in different parts of the prairies and the world, and more. It’s funny, sad, clever, tender, and biting. It’s fun to read, and profound and heartbreaking.”
—Casey the Lesbrarian
“nîtisânak is wildly interesting, thoughtful, and tender, but also utterly uncompromising. Morgan sees through the needs of a hungry audience who may have come to this queer Indigenous memoir to be titillated or scandalized and gently refuses.”
—Jessie Loyer, Capilano Review
