Guess Who’s for Dinner

The Cannibal Spirit joins a long tradition of flesh-eating literature set in Canada

By Jeet Heer

“‘Is all the world obsessed with cannibals?’ asks a character in Harry Whitehead’s new novel, The Cannibal Spirit, which the author based on the true story of George Hunt, an ethnologist who reported on the alleged cannibalistic practices of the Kwakwaka’wakw people of British Columbia. In 1900, Hunt was himself accused of cannibalistic activity, and those charges serve as the inspiration for Whitehead’s book, a thriller that imagines Hunt’s son-in-law Harry Cadwallader (a real person, but heavily fictionalized in the book) searching for Hunt after he goes into hiding. Like Marlow’s quest for Kurtz in Heart of Darkness, Cadwallader’s journey reads like a feverish dream. The novel alternates between Hunt’s wavering first-person account and the seemingly more objective third-person report of Cadwallader’s mission. Both versions contain a supernatural undercurrent, with visits by characters who seem to be messengers from another world.” (October 2011)
