Refugees of Confederation

By T.F. Pruden

'Refugees of Confederation' is equal parts Indigenous survivor tale, Canadian adventure saga and literary tour de force.
A candid look at one family's struggles in post-colonial society, the vivid portrait is often brutal.
Despite a spare reveal of it.
From innocent child to middle-aged cynic, an unknown narrator leads the reader into what seems a well-known world.
Where the heirs to Canada's colonial past yet persist. Though a long way from freedom. And wrongly framed by the romance of a false record.
Meanwhile, world events give context to a nation's journey. The tale, at best, is unequal. And delivers a polemic to notions of its good old days.
To face life in Canada as seldom told, you must read this family's story.
A work of rare grit, T.F. Pruden's sixth novel is a future classic.

T.F. Pruden is a Canadian novelist of mixed Aboriginal heritage. Written in an episodic and constrained minimalist style, his work shares a dry wit while embracing the postmodern. Themes of cultural identity, racial separation, individualism, collectivism and the absurd confront Indigenous characters living with racism and bigotry common to life in Canada. He lives in small town Alberta in western Canada.
His sixth novel 'Refugees of Confederation', published in 2022 and is now available in hardcover, paperback, or eBook. A brutal indictment of the ongoing North American Indigenous cultural genocide known as colonialism; this future classic of Canadian literature is available worldwide via Amazon on Solitary Press.
