Continuing the work of the award-winning Sand Talk, Tyson Yunkaporta casts an Indigenous lens on contemporary society, challenging us to face conflict and embrace conversation to find our way onto the right track.

With Right Story, Wrong Story, Apalech Clan member Tyson Yunkaporta, from far north Queensland, tackles the divisions that prevent us from talking to one another. Yunkaporta invites us to confront life's biggest questions and arms us with the tools we need to really listen, and to open our minds to change based upon our connections with others. He makes this point through discussions with a diverse range of people across social and political divides including:

  • liberal economists
  • memorization experts
  • Frisian ecologists
  • and Elders who are wood carvers, mathematicians, and storytellers.
  • Building upon the Indigenous tradition of "yarning" to weave our individual narratives into the great narrative that includes us all across any and all differences, Yunkaporta argues that story is at the heart of everything. But what is right or wrong story?

        Wang's (We Two Alone, 2021) debut novel is the story of Josiah Chang, the eponymous riveter, and his blue-eyed, star-crossed lover, Poppy. Josiah grew up the son of a logger in Canada's Cariboo Mountains. No stranger to racial discrimination, Josiah was never afraid of hard work and the challenge to prove himself the best of the best. WWII provided a proving ground. Josiah's strength and determination resulted in him qualifying for special operations and leaving his life as a riveter--and his life with Poppy. Their relationship and Poppy's patience are stretched to their limits; she expresses feelings of betrayal as someone who "had agreed to one life and been left with another." Short chapters sketch the romance between Josiah and Poppy, flipping from their life before war to paratrooper training to bloody battles in the European theatre to wartime meetings and eventual reckoning. Readers of historical romance and tales of forbidden love will be satisfied by Wang's writing and its infusion of Canadian history, geography, and point of view.
