The Secret of the Northern Lights continues the chronicle which has delighted thousands and outraged a select few since Silas Ermineskin first appropriated the English language in 1977 with Dance Me Outside.

When he's out on the road with Brother Frank Fencepost, the Trickster incarnate, we join a slapstick First Nations tour through the follies of our culture. Sacred white buffalo get kidnapped and cloned, Levantine radicals are provided with Ermineskin identities, and Frank and Silas represent the Nation of Hobbema at the Commonwealth Games.
Humour, as always, is the leveler. Nothing is taken too seriously, nothing is sacred. Yet serious, even tragic, things do happen and sacred things are accomplished, while Kinsella -- as if incidentally--twists a skewer again and again through the cant, sentimentality and glib indignations of political correctness.
The Secret of the Northern Lights is certain to challenge and delight, as well as enlighten.
Kinsella is the winner of the following awards: Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship; Books in Canada First Novel Award; Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour; Canada Authors Association Prize for Fiction; Order of Canada, Periodical Marketers Award.
