It's for someone supposedly red on the outside, white on the inside. <p/> In <i>APPLE (SKIN TO THE CORE)</i>, Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family--of Onondaga among Tuscaroras--of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. <p/>Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>A powerful narrative about identity and belonging.</b> - <i>PASTE MAGAZINE</i><br><br><b>A searing yet dryly funny, at times intimate and at times highly literary picture</b> of life hemmed in by majoritarian expectations and gutted by exploitation that made staying in the family home intolerable but leaving it unthinkable. - <i>BCCB</i><br><br><b>Easily one of the best books to be published in 2020.</b> The kind of book bound to save lives. - <i>LIT HUB</i><br><br><b>Exceptional..</b>A stirring depiction of Indigenous life likely to evoke empathy from and resonate with all who venture into Gansworth's world. - <i>SHELF-AWARENESS</i> (starred review)<br><br><b>With language rich in metaphor, </b> this is a timely and important work that begs for multiple readings. - <i>BOOKLIST</i> (starred review)<br><br>A raw, layered story about love and loss of community, culture, and place.- <i>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eric Gansworth, S˙ha-weñ na-saeˀ, is an enrolled Onondaga writer and visual artist, raised at the Tuscarora Nation.
