- Description
Using a mixture of prose, text messages, emails, and images, Tamayose explores themes from relationships to murder to daily life and academia. The writing style and conversational tone makes this collection accessible to a wide range of readers. The variation of formats presented in the first story could inspire learners to develop their own multi-format tale, and the second story provides a good example of magic realism. All pieces have a humanistic focus that will likely draw in readers, and many include ties to Alberta and rural or academic experiences that may help readers engage and connect. Each of the stories in Ezra’s Ghosts could easily be used in English language arts lessons.
