Thomas King is an artful satirist and my favorite stories in this collection are the ones that cut to the quick of historical injustices like "The Baby in the Airmail Box" or "Where the Borg Are" in ways that are sharp, like really sharp, and unique. He points the finger by changing the narrative, if ever so slightly, like the adoption of racial minorities by whites, and forces you, the reader to conceptualize the absurdity of the past and our current situation. King's writing falls a bit flat when he is playing it straight, "States to Avoid" and "Fire and Rain." Part of the reason is because of broad strokes, there doesn't seem to be enough compelling detail in these works to give the character's much weight to the reader. I would say, probably just a failing of the collection, that they are also jarring in the company of the main body of work in this collection, mostly humor or folktales.
