Laughing with the Trickster
On Sex, Death, and Accordions
Tomson Highway
The CBC Massey Lectures for 2022 are being presented by none other than the trickster himself, Tomson Highway, who brings his signature irreverence to an exploration of five themes central to the human condition: language, creation, sex and gender, humour, and death. Highway offers personal anecdotes and Trickster stories as guides through crises such as climate change, economic disparity, racial intolerance, and general unhappiness.

Permanent Astonishment
A Memoir
Tomson Highway
This epic memoir by the celebrated author is Highway’s extravagant embrace of his younger brother’s final words: “Don’t mourn me, be joyful.” Highway relishes every moment in life and infuses humour into the profound insights he provides into the Cree experience of culture, survival, and joy.
