PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

The Baby Blues is Drew Hayden Taylor's highly wrought farce of patrimony in a stifling, politically correct, post-colonial milieu of "fancy dancers" of every stripe on the powwow trail. In juxtaposing three generations of careless wandering hedonists, progenitors of a string of offspring from their six-night stands, with their erstwhile nave women partners who are always left holding the bag, the "big questions" of heritage, family, cultural context and personal identity are ruthlessly stripped of their conventional meanings and become so much useless, embarrassing roadkill on the highway of life.

Cast of 3 women and 3 men.
