Trickster Drift

In Trickster Drift, Eden Robinson continues Jared Martin’s story as he leaves Kitamaat Village and struggles to build a new life while confronting his troubled past. As Jared navigates addiction, family trauma, and an uncertain identity, he becomes entangled with supernatural forces connected to Indigenous stories and trickster traditions. Blending dark humour, gritty realism, and fantasy, Robinson explores the effects of colonialism, intergenerational trauma, and displacement while emphasizing cultural connection and community. Both unsettling and compassionate, Trickster Drift is a coming-of-age story about identity, family, and finding belonging despite forces, both human and supernatural, that Jared cannot control.
