Tune in as podcaster Ben Charland speaks with award-winning author Thomas King about Indians on Vacation\, a witty and unforgettable new tale about a couple\, Mimi and Bird\, who unearth a stash of old postcards and attempt to trace Mimi’s long-lost uncle and the family medicine bundle he took with him to Europe. \nThomas King is an award-winning novelist\, short story writer\, scriptwriter and photographer. His critically acclaimed\, bestselling fiction includes Medicine River; Green Grass\, Running Water; One Good Story\, That One; Truth and Bright Water; A Short History of Indians in Canada; The Back of the Turtle (winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction); The Inconvenient Indian (winner of the RBC Taylor Prize); the DreadfulWater mystery series\, including most recently Obsidian; and the poetry collection 77 Fragments of a Familiar Ruin. A Member of the Order of Canada and the recipient of a National Aboriginal Achievement Award\, Thomas King lives in Guelph\, Ontario. \nBen Charland is a writer\, podcaster and creative consultant currently based in Whitehorse\, Yukon. Ben’s work is informed by the many hats he’s worn over the years: playwright\, theatre director\, artistic director\, tour guide\, actor\, political hack\, traveler\, teacher\, government worker\, blogger\, speechwriter\, manager and (yes) traffic coordinator for a paper shredding company. He’s lived in four continents and has been lucky to visit over 50 countries\, but the common thread for Ben is unrelenting curiosity. Ben has a BFA from the University of Calgary and an MA from the University of London (UK)\, and is married to the woman of his dreams\, Shelaine.
