Indígenas de férias - Thomas King

Livro divertido, numa narrativa cômica com diálogos bem espirituosos entre um casal de descendentes indígenas de uma região do Canadá em viagem pela Europa.

É uma história sobre relacionamentos familiares numa narrativa espirituosa (cômica) mas, também, com reflexões mais profundas sobre a nossa forma de viver.

As passagens do livro em que o protagonista Blackbird Mavrias conversa com "seus demônios" (todos eles nomeados por sua esposa) são impagáveis. Um ótimo livro!

Gostei de um resumo do livro que encontrei nas avaliações da Amazon (https://www.amazon.com.br/Indians-Vacation-Novel-Thomas-King/dp/1443460559):

" Blackbird Mavrias and Mimi Bull Shield make one hell of a pair; he an American Cherokee with mixed Greek parentage, and she an Alberta Blackfoot. After meeting in California he is enticed - or shall we say charmed - into following her back to Canada, and they eventually settle and retire in Guelph, Ontario.

Now "Bird" is really a stay-at-home kind of guy who finds contentment in exploring his own 'backyard', but Mimi - somewhat driven by her mother but more largely be her adventuresome nature - loves to travel, broadly. Her quest is find a find a bundle (of undetermined contents) that her uncle Leroy took with him as he toured Europe with a wild west show a hundred years ago. The clues to his travels exist only as post cards he sent home from his travels. Bird, largely against his will, tags along and with him brings an assortment of personal demons (which Mimi has taken joy in giving human names) that make his life more than just occasionally unpleasant."
