Woven throughout these conversations are memories of Jack, a cousin caught in the cycle of police violence, drugs, and survival. Jacks life parallels the narrators own; the possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance with colonialism stacking the odds. A Minor Chorus introduces a dazzling new literary voice whose vision and fearlessness shine much-needed light on the realities of Indigenous survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49675207999728,"sku":"NEW132402142X","price":17.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/a-minor-chorus-a-novel-by-belcourt-billy-ray","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
