Tips and Resources From Your Louise Erdrich Book Club Friends:

Known for her deeply moving and interwoven familial stories, Louise Erdrich has earned praise for her rich storytelling, evocative writing, and explorations of Native American experiences that not only provide insights into Indigenous history but also humanity as a whole.

Many of her novels entwine characters and familial relationships spanning over many years. She frequently delves into the complexities of Native American identity, intergenerational trauma, and the legacy of colonialism. But her books are also filled with humour, beauty, and characters who display courage and resilience. Themes of love, spirituality, and the interconnectedness between people and the natural world are also woven into her works.

Taking the Fifth

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”

Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
Tala Cruz
“Louise Erdrich is an incredible author. Hard to pick my favorite work of hers, but I really thought The Night Watchman and The Sentence were great. Can’t wait to read The Mighty Red coming out soon.”
