Wow, two fabulous authors, both small book store owners. Timely and poignant! I was initially concerned when I started the book and learned of the crime. I stopped reading for so many look ups, in a good way. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Sentence" as did our other book club members.
Really enjoyed this interview. (Also the book!) Please could you list the other recommened books in the description, as it was hard to catch some of the titles and authors.
Louise has written intriguing books in the past. Her latest effort, however, sacrifices deep characters and story for an excuse to pound home tiresome issues of imagined systemic gracism and is a prolonged sermon. She often makes note of her Native American heritage (1/4th) but was raised Catholic by parents who were both teachers; she attended university and was never raised on a reservation. She’d do well to research Tony Timpa’s case (identical to George Floydd but wasn’t a violent criminal, and wasn’t black) but like many Non-blacck victims, received no media coverage. The continued stream of authors jumping on this virtue train grows tiresome.
Delighted to learn two of my favorite contemporary authors are good friends. I highly recommend The Sentence.
Loved this awesome interview!!
Wow what a regal beautiful woman!!! Louise Erdrich!!!
