Native Bookshelf: “The Mighty Red” by Louise Erdrich
The title of Pulitzer Prize-winning Ojibwe writer Louise Erdrich‘s latest book refers to the north-flowing river along the North Dakota-Minnesota border.
It’s the geography of The Mighty Red that stretches in all directions from the small-town loves and losses that Erdrich’s characters inhabit. Readers follow the teenage Ojibwe protagonist Kismet Poe as she navigates race, class, and an uncertain economy.
