George Elliott Clarke develops the story begun in Whyla Falls, of his first cousins, once removed, who slaughtered a friendly cab driver in Fredericton New Brunswick during a robbery that netted approximately $180. The experiences of George and Rufus Hamilton, told in a vivid, rhythmic language, reveal the failure of violence to transcend a world of limited educational and economic opportunity, and the hypocrisy of Canadian multicultural mythology.
