A Minor Chorus (2022) is Billy-Ray Belcourt’s first novel. It follows a young Indigenous writer returning to his northern Alberta community to work on a book, and the story blurs the lines between fiction, essay, and personal reflection.
The novel draws on Belcourt’s own experience as a Cree writer and academic. It is quieter and more introspective than a traditional plot-driven novel, focused on language, identity, and the act of writing itself.
