Louise Erdrich's first novel, Love Medicine, came out in 1984 to instant national acclaim, winning a National Book Circle Critics Award and launching a tetralogy which it would take Erdrich ten years to complete. In its centrality to Native American literary tradition, Love Medicine is an uncompromising and irresistible portrait of a community till then too often portrayed in flat or comic terms. Hertha Wong has established herself as the leading commentator on Erdrich.
ReviewsHighly recommended reading for students of contemporary Native American experience in general, and the writings of Louise Erdrich in particular. * The Midwest Book Review *
