"The text of Borders was previously published, in a slightly different form, as the short story "Borders" in Thomas King's One Good Story, That One, orignally published in 1993 by Harper Collins Publishers Ltd."--Title page verso.
A graphic-novel adaptation based on the work of one of Canada’s most revered and bestselling authors. “What side do you come from?” On a trip to visit his older sister, who moved away from the family home to Salt Lake City, a young boy and his mother are posed a simple question with a not so simple answer. And when border guards will not accept their citizenship, mother and son wind up trapped in an all-too-real limbo between nations that do not recognize who they are. A powerful graphic novel adaptation of the Thomas King short story, Borders explores themes of identity, belonging, and is a poignant depiction of the significance of a nation’s physical borders from an Indigenous perspective. One of Thomas King’s most celebrated pieces of short fiction is brought to vibrant, piercing life by the singular vision of artist Natasha Donovan.
