The Sasquatch at Home: Traditional Protocols & Modern Storytelling

Formatted as an accessible short memoir, The Sasquatch at Home is a stream of moments from Eden Robinson’s life, delving into relationships, family, place, and identity. Coming from an Indigenous perspective, Robinson discusses protocol and family systems, yet, much of the interfamily relationships are told in such a way that it welcomes readers from all backgrounds to connect. This book would be an excellent introduction to memoir, not only because of its shorter length but also because of Robinson’s conversational tone. Infused throughout the book is the theme of strong integration between people, the environment, and stories, and the role each plays in relation to the other.
