Grey, once a passionate advocate for change, has been hardened and turned cynical by an activist culture she thinks has turned performative and lazy. One night, though, she has a revelation, and enlists Ezzy, who is hopelessly devoted to her but eager to avoid the authorities after a life in and out of the group home system and jail, for a bold yet dangerous political mission: capture a herd of bison from a national park and set them free in downtown Edmonton, disrupting the churn of settler routine. But as Grey becomes increasingly single-minded in her newfound calling, their act of protest puts the pair and those close to them in peril, with devastating and sometimes fatal consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers drawn to the electric storytelling of Morgan Talty and the taut register of Stephen Graham Jones, Conor Kerr's \u003ci\u003ePrairie Edge\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a gripping, darkly funny caper and a raw reckoning with the wounds that persist across generations.\r","brand":"Conor Kerr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44462258094316,"sku":"9780771003578","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44462258127084,"sku":"9781517917234","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780771003578.jpg?v=1708936636","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/prairie-edge","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
