Michelle Porter
Robbie is torn: between trying to "rescue" his stubborn Métis mother—determined to stick with her abusive second husband and her home in the path of ravenous wildfires in Canada—and the quest to find his father, a white man often absent due to mental health challenges but now long missing in the mountains south of the border.
After he and his American uncle find themselves following a very pregnant bison up the slopes of a huge glacier named Omega, Robbie must also navigate between fear and wonder as he starts hearing the ancient voice of Omega giving him guidance. Has Robbie accessed a deep connection to the land, one he can trust? Or is he succumbing to the same illness that had wreaked havoc on his father's life?
Michelle Porter brings her distinctively musical, energetic, witty, sometimes bawdy style to a powerful contemporary story of identity and belonging, loss and healing, within families and with the immortal land itself.

批評家のレビュー
“Michelle Porter is a gem of a writer. I will always excitedly read anything she writes. Giving voice to our natural kin, A Glacier’s Guide to Dying is a poignant novel, light in its delivery but full of weight in its afterglow. I loved this one.”
—katherena vermette, #1 national bestselling author of real ones and The Strangers
“In A Glacier’s Guide to Dying, we follow Robbie, a young Métis man, as one environmental disaster after another pushes him to confront and understand the complexities of family, love, and mental illness. As layered as the ice of a glacier, this is a story that will have you coming back again and again to explore its depth and brilliance. Remarkable storytelling!”
—Amanda Peters, international bestselling author of The Berry Pickers
"Both an elegy and a serenade for the prairies—a plain that is beyond conceptions of our human timings: it is of apocalypse and creation (if ever there was a difference). . . . Her protagonist, Robbie, is wickedly contemporary [and] holds within him a tornado, the Albertan wildfires, mountainous giants, fatherly longing, and the Athabascan glacier, Omega. . . . This is not simply magic realism, anthropomorphism, a bildungsroman, or Métis oral storytelling. It is each of those and more. Sovereign to its storytelling histories. For fans of Louise Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God or Eden Robinson’s Trickster trilogy—A Glacier’s Guide to Dying is a must read.”
—Joshua Whitehead, #1 national bestselling author of Making Love with the Land and Johnny Appleseed
“A Glacier’s Guide to Dying brings the reader into the interiority of every family in many ways. It troubles our own sense of obligation to others who have never felt a sense of obligation towards us and asks what drives the human spirit to pursue an unanswerable question. . . . It portrays a Mètis family and Nation living “between the old world and the new” in a refreshing and real way.”
