Abstract

Jacobs offers readers abundant contextual information pertinent to a critical understanding of Erdrich's novels. Her purpose is similar to Susan Scarberry-Garcia's in Landmarks of Healing: A Study of House Made of Dawn (1990); both books are valuable reference tools for newcomers to their authors' works and to American Indian Literature in general. This volume will be of particular benefit to teachers of introductory courses in Native American literature covering Erdrich's fiction.
