Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands
Kate BeatonCaptivating & devastating! With unfailing humanism, Beaton chronicles the extractions — from the environment, from minority groups, from ourselves — in which we are all complicit. She finds empathy for the lonely men of the Alberta oil sands despite her mistreatment at their hands, & moments of humor & warmth despite the bleakness of her experiences. A must-read, especially if you have student loans. — Kai B., Powells.com
Before there was Kate Beaton, bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beatons, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, & gaelic folk songs. After university, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush, part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much.
With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, what the journey will actually cost Katie will be far more than she anticipates. Arriving in Fort McMurray, Katie finds work in the lucrative camps owned & operated by the world's largest oil companies. As one of the few women among thousands of men, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed.
Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery & mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, & boreal forest. Her 1st full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos & natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land & the humanity of its people.
