Iliarjuk is a first-hand account of contemporary life in a small Inuit community on Baffin Island and it paints a picture that is vastly different from what one might expect. It is a raw, painful, disturbing, hilarious, lyrical, provocative and eye-opening testimony to the courage and sheer determination of its author -- a must-read for anyone interested in the Inuit or the Arctic. It is also a tale of astonishing hardship and hope.
