WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN FICTION 2021 NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER It is 1953. Thomas Wazhushk is the night watchman at the
first factory to open near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural
North Dakota. He is also a prominent Chippewa Council member,
trying to understand a new bill that is soon to be put before
Congress. The US Government calls it an 'emancipation' bill; but it
isn't about freedom - it threatens the rights of Native Americans
to their land, their very identity. How can he fight this betrayal?
Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Pixie - 'Patrice' -
Paranteau has no desire to wear herself down on a husband and kids.
She works at the factory, earning barely enough to support her
mother and brother, let alone her alcoholic father who sometimes
returns home to bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny
to get if she's ever going to get to Minnesota to find her missing
sister Vera. In The Night Watchman multi-award winning author
Louise Erdrich weaves together a story of past and future
generations, of preservation and progress. She grapples with the
worst and best impulses of human nature, illuminating the loves and
lives, desires and ambitions of her characters with compassion, wit
and intelligence.
