What does it mean to be a fully processed Indian in America today? In Night Train, Lise Erdrich offers a sharphumored and powerful primer. Largely set in the small towns and reservations of northwestern Minnesota and western North Dakota, her literary snapshots capture the characters lives playing out against a backdrop of emergency rooms, supermarket aisles, backwoods parties, family breakfast tables, boozesoaked taverns, and sterile, but emotionally fraught offices.Taken at the very moment when the pressures of daily life collide with the insidiousness of history, these stories reveal the personal struggle and small triumphs of people facing the absurdities of bureaucracy, cycles of poverty and addiction, and outsized notions of Indian legends and culture.It takes love, fortitude, and no small amount of humor to survive the sunstarved winters of the Great Plains, where finding reasons to keep going (and keep growing) can be the most profound accomplishment. Erdrichs flashbulbquick stories provide it all in cathartic doses and within the many voices of her tales, all the crazy starts to make sense.Lise Erdrich has worked in the fields of Indian health and education since the 1980s and is currently a school health officer at the Circle of Nations School in Wahpeton, North Dakota. Her stories have received a number of awards, including the Minnesota Monthly Tamarack Award, the Many Mountains Moving Flash Fiction Contest, and Best of Show at the North Dakota State Fair. Night Train is her highly anticipated first collection.
