Borders

In Borders (2021–present, Little, Brown), a mother and her son set out on a road trip from their home in Alberta to the U.S. border, a journey that becomes a quiet meditation on identity, belonging, and the invisible lines that divide people. This single-issue graphic novella, written and illustrated by Thomas King, adapts his own acclaimed short story into a stark, poignant visual narrative. Though brief in length, the work resonates as a powerful, timely exploration of Indigenous experience and the arbitrary nature of nation-state boundaries.
