The authors argue that, by situating these concepts within a comic framework, King avoids the polemics that often surface in cultural critiques. They examine how King's art routinely explores cross-cultural dynamics, including Native rights and race relations, American and Canadian cultural interaction, and the artistic traditions of Europe and North America. Davidson, Walton, and Andrews employ a framework of postcolonial and border studies theory to examine the concepts of nation, race, and sexuality in King's work. Border Crossings is the first full-length study to explore King's art. King is also the author of the serialized radio series The Dead Dog Café and is an accomplished photographer. His books have been reviewed in publications such as The New York Times Book Review, The Globe and Mail, and People magazine. He has been nominated twice for Governor General's Awards, and his first novel, Medicine River, has been transformed into a CBC movie. Summary: Thomas King is the first Native writer to generate widespread interest in both Canada and the United States.
