Comparing Mythologies: Tomson Highway is one of Canada's foremost playwrights and novelists. In Comparing Mythologies he addresses a theme that is central to much of his work: the ways that Canadian culture today is shaped by a mixture of Aboriginal and Western mythologies. Like many Native writers, Mr. Highway is fascinated by the resilience and vitality of North American Aboriginal cultures, many of which are grounded in a matriarchal tradition. What interests him is not merely the difference between these cultures, but the ways that inherited beliefs enable Native communities to cope with the cultural and social challenges facing them today. Tomson Highway explores these themes with poetic eloquence.
