Here leading scholars analyze the three critically acclaimed recent novels—\u003ci\u003eThe Plague of Doves\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eThe Round House\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), and \u003ci\u003eLaRose\u003c\/i\u003e (2016)—that make up what has become known as Erdrich’s “justice trilogy.” Set in small towns and reservations of northern North Dakota, these three interwoven works bring together a vibrant cast of  characters whose lives are shaped by history, identity, and community. Individually and collectively, the essays herein illuminate Erdrich’s storytelling abilities; the complex relations among crime, punishment, and forgiveness that characterize her work; and the Anishinaabe contexts that underlie her presentation of character, conflict, and community. The volume also includes a reader’s guide to each novel, a glossary, and an interview with Erdrich that will aid in readers’ navigation of the justice novels. These timely, original, and compelling readings make a valuable contribution to Erdrich scholarship and, subsequently, to the study of Native literature and women’s authorship as a whole.","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041736655191,"sku":"9781611864038","price":40.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781611864038.jpg?v=1750951478","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/louise-erdrichs-justice-trilogy-cultural-and-critical-contexts-9781611864038","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
