The Night Watchman
by Louise Erdrich (2020) Harper
A marvelous, fantastic book. I could tell ten percent into it that it deserved the Pulitzer. Ms. Erdrich has a complete mastery of storytelling and language. Her subject matter, though placed in the 1950’s is as relevant today as it was then. Her characters show us perspectives of how the government has gone back on its word to Native Americans time and again. She has certainly thrashed them like a field.
