Louise Erdrich is one of the most critically and commercially
successful Native American writers. This book is the first fully
comprehensive treatment of Erdrich's writing, analysing the textual
complexities and diverse contexts of her work to date. Drawing on
the critical archive relating to Erdrich's work and Native American
literature, Stirrup explores the full depth and range of her
authorship. Breaking Erdrich's oeuvre into several groupings -
poetry, early and late fiction, memoir and children's writing -
Stirrup develops individual readings of both the critical arguments
and the texts themselves. He argues that Erdrich's work has
developed an increasing political acuity to the relationship
between ethics and aesthetics in Native American literatures.
Erdrich's insistence on being read as an American writer is shown
to be in constant and mutually-inflecting dialogue with her Ojibwe
heritage. This sophisticated analysis is of use to students and
readers at all levels of engagement with Erdrich's writing. -- .
