He has been nominated twice for Governor General's Awards, and his first novel, \u003ci\u003eMedicine River\u003c\/i\u003e, has been transformed into a CBC movie. His books have been reviewed in publications such as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. King is also the author of the serialized radio series \u003ci\u003eThe Dead Dog Café\u003c\/i\u003e and is an accomplished photographer. \u003ci\u003eBorder Crossings\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length study to explore King's art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavidson, Walton, and Andrews employ a framework of postcolonial and border studies theory to examine the concepts of nation, race, and sexuality in King's work. They examine how King's art routinely explores cross-cultural dynamics, including Native rights and race relations, American and Canadian cultural interaction, and the artistic traditions of Europe and North America. The authors argue that, by situating these concepts within a comic framework, King avoids the polemics that often surface in cultural critiques. His writing engages, entertains, and educates. This provocative analysis of King's art reads across cultures and between borders, and makes an important contribution to the study of Native writing, Canadian and American literature, border studies, and humour studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnold E.
