He is wounded, dispirited, and addicted to morphine. Xavier Bird has returned to northern Ontario after living through the hell of the fighting and trenches of WWI. "My body hums with Nephew’s pain and with the realization that he has come home only to die." He divides his time between Louisiana, where he and his wife, Amanda Boyden, are writers in residence, and Northern Ontario. He studied creative writing at York University and the University of New Orleans, and subsequently taught in the Aboriginal Student Program at Northern College. He has indicated in interviews that the titles are part of a planned trilogy, the third of which is forthcoming.
Boyden's second novel, Through Black Spruce follows the story of Will, son of one of the characters in Three Day Road. Three Day Road, a novel about two Cree soldiers serving in the Canadian military during World War I, is inspired by Ojibwa Francis Pegahmagabow, the legendary First World War sniper. Boyden's father Raymond Wilfrid Boyden was a medical officer renowned for his bravery, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and was the highest-decorated medical officer of World War II.īoyden, of Irish, Scottish and Métis heritage, writes about First Nations heritage and culture. He grew up in Willowdale, North York, Ontario and attended the Jesuit-run Brebeuf College School.
