review of another edition

Not always easy to read, but covering a lot of themes, from tradition vs. outside influence till religion of the Natives and the white influence. Also general themes like relationship, gender, birth/death and nature.
Brilliant, heartbreaking, sad, witty, spiritual and redemptive.
There are some rich characters, beautiful displays of language, and interesting plot moments in Erdrich's Tracks. Unfortunately, there are also many characters and moments which drag on. In the end, I didn't think of this story as memorable, but Erdrich has strong potential, and I'll return to her someday for a another try.

My favorite Louise Erdrich novel. I learned so much from Nanapush about life and love.
