Episode 21

Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq, read by the author

When was the last time you listened to an audiobook that shattered all of your expectations – from the format and narrative performance, to the genre-defying content? Split Tooth is part memoir, part manifesto, and it’s infused with myth, poetry, and song. Tanya Tagaq is a multi-talented Inuk artist, author, and an internationally acclaimed Juno and Polaris prize-winning throat singer, and she segments her reading of Split Tooth with throat singing.
