Split Tooth
Split Tooth is a 2018 novel by Canadian musician Tanya Tagaq. Based in part on her own personal journals, the book tells the story of a young Inuk woman growing up in the Canadian Arctic in the 1970s. The book has been described as a blend of fiction, memoir, poetry and Inuit folklore. Characterized by the publisher as magic realism, it has also been seen as an example of Daniel Heath Justice's critical concept of "wonderworks" or literature by Indigenous North American writers that defies conventional Western notions of literary genres. The book won the Indigenous Voices Award for English Prose in 2019. The novel was also longlisted for the 2018 Giller Prize, and was shortlisted for the 2019 Amazon.ca First Novel Award.
