Culturally interesting but too artsy. I really enjoyed learning more about intuit culture and tradition and though it was difficult to hear knowing more about the abuses suffered by Inuit people. However I wouldn’t recommend this book if you’re not a fan of poetry. I was hoping to read a story told in the more traditional sense.

Love it. Wonderful book! Nakurmiik Tanya!

Potent. Dangerous. Nonsense.. There are parts of Tanya Tagaq’s “Split Tooth” that are very funny. The early portions of the narrative, in fact, which is told in drifts of prose punctuated by angular ridges of poetry, are suffused with a bluff good humour, befitting a sepia-toned retrospective coming-of-age story, that despite its unfamiliarity due to the impossibly harsh arctic surroundings, has the familiar schoolgirl hormonal-crushes-on-boys tone, and a likeable if slightly off-kilter protagonist that gives it a fond, somewhat autobiographical feel. Like most Inuit stories, however (perhaps due to that same harsh environment), Split Tooth sort of slides into body horror and some really remarkably dark territory. Nothing is necessarily what it seems in Ms. Tagaq’s expertly-crafted prose/poetry, that touches on existential quesetions like whether ancestry predisposes one to madness or violence, how deep the mother-child bond is, and what damage it can do to both parties, and along the way casts its critical gaze upon sexual abuse and rape, addiction and teenage drug use, insanity, infanticide, murder and suicide. Like her music, Ms. Tagaq’s writing toys with it’s audience, balancing on the line between autobiography, fantasy and the supernatural, and makes good use of shock value. The result is an impressive first novel, that feels intensely personal (perhaps, cleverly, more than it should) and leaves you feeling intrigued and mildly horrified.

Olayok. I could not put the (iBook) down! I am left wanting more. Felt like I had to consume every word... it is entrancing. I have never read a book that captures so much of the North in ways that I cannot describe or comprehend yet, but it feels right. Very proud of Tanya, and she continues to share her warmth and light with so many people. Thank you Tanya for sharing your gifts and never letting anyone bring you down. We are all stronger because of bravery like yours.
