Author & Journalist
Author and journalist Waubgeshig Rice is a member of the Wasauksing First Nation. His books and writings have been inspired by his childhood experiences growing up in an Anishinaabe community. His first collection of short stories, Midnight Sweatlodge, won him the Independent Publishers Book Award in 2012. He made his debut in 2014 with the release of Legacy, and his most recent novel, Moon of the Crusted Snow, was released in October of 2018 and instantly became a national bestseller.
“Yes, apocalypse. We've had that over and over. But we always survived. We're still here. And we'll still be here, even if the power and the radios don't come back on and we never see any white people again.”
- Waubgeshig Rice, Moon of the Crusted Snow
It (Moon of the Crusted Snow) is taut and unforgettable, and holds a candle up to other thrillers of this sort, such as Station Eleven. I’m impressed with Rice’s journalistic eye for detail, ear for dialogue and his skill with plotting.
