| Opplysninger | "Noopiming is Anishinaabemowin for in the bush, and the title is a response to English Canadian settler and author Susanna Moodies 1852 memoir Roughing It in the Bush. Set in the same place as Moodies colonial memoir, this genre-fluid novel is offered as a cure for Moodies racist treatment of Mississauga Nishnaabeg in her writing. The giant Sabe meditates on the gifts and challenges of their recent sobriety. Migrating geese make a case for coordinated formation as a way to get out of ones own cycling head. Racoons turn Bougie Kwes Zen-garden pond into their personal urban spa. This is a world alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits who are all busy with the daily labours of healing healing not only themselves, but their individual pieces of the network, of the web that connects them all together. These stories gather up tiny pieces, one at a time, as they slowly circle through the perspectives of different characters, in a breathtaking act of world-building that rewards patience and deep listening. This is the real world, the one where meaning accumulates through close observation and relationship. Enter and be changed."--
