30.1 - Ava Catherine’s Task: Celebrating Louise Erdrich

This is a two book task. Read one book from two different options or two books from one option.

Required: Identify which option or options you select when you post.
No books with the genre Childrens or Kids may be used.

Louise Erdrich, one of my favorite authors, is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized tribe of the Anishinaabe (also known as Ojibwe and Chippewa) and is recognized as one of the most notable writers of the Native American Renaissance. She was awarded the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction in 2015.

Option 1: The Plague of Doves
In 2009 Louise Erdrich's novel The Plague of Doves was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and received an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award. Read a book with mpg historical fiction, mpg sociology, or mpg race (or racism). mpg may be stand alone or embedded.

Option 2: The Round House
In 2012 Erdrich received the National Book Award for Fiction for her novel The Round House.
Read a book from this list Native American Fiction.
Required: State the page of the list where your book was found.

Option 3: Birchbark Books
Louise Erdrich is also the owner of Birchbark Books, a small independent bookstore in Minneapolis, that focuses on Native American literature and the Native American community. Read a book by a single author whose first and last name initials can be found in BIRCHBARK. Letters can be used only as often as they appear in the target word.

Option 4: Literary Influence
Louise Erdrich’s greatest literary influence is William Faulkner. Read a book by a single author whose first and last name initials are either LE or WF, emulating either Erdrich or Faulkner.
