âI get superstitious,â says the author, whose latest novel is âHummingbird Salamanderâ: âI once had a book sent to me that was disrupting my ability to write a novel because of a superficial similarity between the two. I took that book and dug a hole and buried it deep in the backyard.â
What books are on your night stand?
I chose the night stand for its stalwart qualities and it is currently holding up well under the eclectic weight of an advance copy of John Paul Brammerâs â¡Hola Papi!,â B. R. Yeagerâs âNegative Space,â Bernard Rudofskyâs âThe Prodigious Builders,â Eley Williamsâs âThe Liarâs Dictionary,â Rita Indianaâs âTentacle,â Stephen Graham Jonesâs âThe Only Good Indians,â Julienne Fordâs âParadigms and Fairy Tales,â Angelo Maria Ripellinoâs

Storykeepers, a new monthly podcast about Indigenous literature by co-hosts and authors Waubgeshig Rice and Jennifer David, aims to bring conversations about Indigenous books to a wider audience in an audio book-club format.
“We are all story keepers in various senses,” says Rice, the Sudbury-based author of
Moon of the Crusted Snow (ECW Press) and a member of the Wasauksing First Nation near Parry Sound, Ont. “It’s our responsibility collectively, as readers and as writers, to make sure that those stories go forth for future generations.”
David, the Ottawa-based author of
Original People, Original Television: The Launching of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and a member of the Chapleau Cree First Nation in northern Ontario, first raised the idea of teaming up on a podcast about Indigenous books years ago when Rice was also living in Ottawa, but the timing wasn’t quite right.
