Summary "The Outcasts" by W. A. Fraser is a novel written in the early 20th century. This narrative follows the journey of A'tim, a half-wolf, half-huskie dog, who finds himself an outcast in the wilderness of North America, wandering near the Blood Indians' territory. The story explores themes of isolation, survival, and the complex relationship between humans and animals, as A'tim interacts with both fellow outcasts and hunters in his quest for sustenance and a sense of belonging. At the start of the book, we meet A'tim, who is deeply aware of his hungry existence and the precariousness of life as a mixed breed shunned by both wolves and dogs. The opening scenes depict his thoughts while he lurks near the camps of the Blood Indians, pondering the upcoming buffalo hunt. A'tim's interactions with Shag, an old buffalo bull who shares his status as an outcast, reveal their mutual understanding and camaraderie, despite their very different natures. As they discuss the impending buffalo run set to occur, A'tim’s selfish desires emerge, hinting at darker intentions fueled by desperation and need. Their conversation sets the stage for future encounters and conflicts, emphasizing the theme of survival in a world rife with danger and deception. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
