Louise Erdrich

A Novel (P.S.)

Love Medicine

Daryl Houston

I first encountered Erdrich in an old "Best American Short Stories" anthology a few years ago, and it was neat to encounter in this book the chapter ("Scales") that had appeared as a story in that anthology that made me want to read more by Erdrich in the first place. I didn't love this one as a cohesive book -- it felt a little scattered or disjointed to me, but then I did read the first quarter and then break for about a week before reading the rest, so maybe the shortcoming is in how I read the book -- but I did very much like a lot of the writing in it. So, four stars for the prose, but probably 3ish for the story itself.

Louise Erdrich is a great writer. This book is very much character driven rather than story driven so may not be for everyone, but if you appreciate good writing you will like this.

The first of Louise Erdrich’s polysymphonic novels set in North Dakota – a fictional landscape that, in Erdrich’s hands, has become iconic – Love Medicine is the story of three generations of Ojibwe families. Set against the tumultuous politics of the reservation,the lives of the Kashpaws and the Lamartines are a testament to the endurance of a people and the sorrows of history.
