This book details the intersections between the personal life and
exceptional writing of Louise Erdrich, perhaps the most critically
and economically successful American Indian author ever. Known for
her engrossing explorations of Native American themes, Louise
Erdrich has created award-winning novels, poetry, stories, and more
for three decades. Tracks on a Page: Louise Erdrich, Her Life and
Works examines Erdrich's oeuvre in light of her experiences, her
gender, and her heritage as the daughter of a Chippewa mother and
German-American father. The book covers Erdrich from her birth to
the present, offering fresh information and perspectives based on
original research. By interweaving biography and literary analysis,
the author, who is herself Native American, gives readers a
complete and nuanced understanding of the ways in which Erdrich's
identity as a woman and an American Indian have influenced her life
and her writing. Tracks on a Page is the first, book-length work to
approach Erdrich and her works from a non-Euro-Western perspective.
It contextualizes both life and writing through the lenses of
American Indian history, politics, economics, and culture, offering
readers new and intriguing ways to appreciate this outstanding
author. Chronological organization takes the reader from Erdrich's
childhood, through her years at Dartmouth College, her personal
life, and her career as a writer
