Flat-signed first edition, first printing of Black Water: Family, Legacy, and Blood Memory
Flat-signed first edition, first printing of Black Water: Family, Legacy, and Blood Memory by David A. Robertson. This 2020 HarperCollins hardcover includes its dust jacket and is signed directly by Robertson on the title page without a visible personalization. The complete number line confirms the first printing.
In this memoir, Robertson traces his relationship with his father and his journey toward understanding his Cree ancestry, family history, and connection to the land. Centred on a father-and-son return to the family's northern Manitoba trapline, the book explores identity, intergenerational trauma, healing, cultural reconnection, and the meaning of inherited memory.
Black Water received the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction and the Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award at the 2021 Manitoba Book Awards. It was also recognized by the High Plains Book Awards in creative nonfiction, adding to its significance as a contemporary work of Indigenous Canadian memoir.
Very Good overall, with light edge and corner wear to the dust jacket, including minor creasing or rubbing near the upper corners. The photographed interior pages remain legible, with no previous-owner name or annotation visible in the supplied views. The mottled pale background seen on the pages and jacket is part of the printed design. The book will be carefully packaged for protection in transit. Please check all photos closely, as they form part of the description.
