Oops - we couldn't find that review.
Her own critical reaction to which author's novels -- to which she had been introduced by her father -- prompted Louise Erdrich's desire to contribute to the creation of a less stereotypical and more complex literary image of Native Americans, and was thus one of the triggers of her literary career?
