Drew Hayden Taylor Me Sexy

A moving and often funny look at Native sexuality from some of Canada's best First Nations and Inuit writers. A sequel to the highly successful Me Funny, Me Sexy is an anthology containing thirteen contributions from leading members of North America's First Nations writing communities. The many highlights include Lee Maracle's creation story, Salish style; Tomson Highway explaining why Cree is the sexiest of all languages; Joseph Boyden asking the eternal question, "Do Native people have less (or more) pubic hair?"; Marius P. Tungilik looking at the dark side of Inuit sex; and Marissa Crazytrain discussing her year as a stripper in Toronto, and how it shaped her life back in Saskatchewan. Drew Hayden Taylor, an Ojibway playwright, is widely known for his thoughtful and witty observations on Aboriginal issues. Other contributors include Lee Maracle, Joseph Boyden, Tomson Highway, Gregory Scofield, Daniel Heath Justice, Michelle McGeough, Norman Vorano, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Makka Kleist, Marius P. Tungilik, Marissa Crazytrain (a.k.a. Simantha Whitecalf ) and Nancy Cooper.
