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","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342920380704,"sku":"USED132402142X","price":13.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71f4MzRvKqL_35077e0d-721b-4df0-9143-821b8d7e8895.jpg?v=1789184104","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-minor-chorus-a-novel-132402142x-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
