Reviews
"Readers will appreciate the touching depiction of family and friendship dynamics in childhood, and the novel's suffusion with empathy makes it a worthwhile read."
"It's a haunting novel, with flashes of wry humour."
"Taylor doesn't shy away from challenging the reader, but he offers us beacons of light in the most unexpected places."
"Chasing Painted Horses by Drew Hayden Taylor (Curve Lake Anishinaabe) is an enchanting novel about how finding some equestrienne graffiti in an alley compels police officer Ralph Thomas to wonder about an extraordinary girl named Danielle. In their youth, Danielle drew a horse on the creative space known as 'The Everything Wall,' creating a lasting image the officer must now contend with. Flashing between Thomas' interactions with a gifted, homeless Cree named Harry and his recollections of Danielle and others, Taylor's genius for writing didactic comedies are on full display. Taylor's faithful readers will recognize that this novel expands on stories he explored earlier in his career, revisiting the characters and creative spaces that tug on the reins around one's heart."
