Book review: Surviving surprises in the city

Surviving the City by Tasha Spillett is an endearing graphic novel about two Indigenous youth surviving high school together while also highlighting, in a haunting and delicate way, the experience of surviving in a city which hides unpredictable hostility.

Also, I have a lot of memories of the old KFC and Lenny’s, before they even got the franchise. In fact, the first meal I had in Yellowknife back in 1969, was a Lenny burger and fries.
