Book Reviews of Grey Owl
Book Review: A fair and objective interpretation of Grey Owl.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have, over the past few years, come to appreciate the life of Grey Owl. There have been several books written about him and some are excellent; however, the gift of Armand Garnet Ruffo, is found in his attempt to get "under the skin" of Archie Grey owl. There are many statements which are visceral in nature in that the author risks criticism by offering notions and thoughts as to the motives and objectives underlying Grey Owl's actions and written words. This, in itself, is a challenge Ruffo is willing to take. Not unlike those the Belaney (Grey Owl) took. I think Armand comes from a unique perspective as his grandmother, Jane McKee (Espaniel) part Ojibway, knew Archie Grey Owl, thus he was introduced, to the subject, from a subjective point of view. Add to that his desire to share the story in a poetic form (again not unlike Grey Owl's writtings) makes for a most interesting presentation. Similarly, he has the added advantage of being a scholar and teacher which lends itself to the expectation of an authoritative and honest analysis, regardless of the form. I liked the book very much.
