In 2020, I formed a virtual book club, with Dani of @ThunderBirdWomanReads to read and discuss most of Louise Erdrich’s backlist of adult fiction. It was a really rewarding experience, which allowed us to become really familiar with her writing style, themes, and many characters she revisited across her works. We loved it so much, that we’ve taken our book club into 2021 and made it official with its own Instagram page @ErinAndDanisBookClub. We’re reading Indigenous Memoirs a...ll year, so please join us! The Night Watchman was not one of our book club picks last year, but it published in 2020 and I couldn’t miss the chance to read it as well! After spending the first half of the year immersed in Erdrich’s Love Medicine series, it was so comforting to read this book. She has such a distinct voice and storytelling style. The book was written as a way to honour her grandfather, who was a night watchman, and the real life fight against the termination bill of the 1950’s. The bill’s intent was to strip Indigenous people of their land and treaty rights, which would have been devastating. The story follows a cast of characters living on an Ojibwe reservation, and switches between their perspectives. I became attached to Thomas and his fight for his people’s rights, Patrice and her search for her sister Vera, Wood Mountain and his desire to be loved and have a family. They’re fictional characters, but felt so real to me. Erdrich hits that right balance of tragedy and humour that makes her books so readable. There were moments that broke my heart and ones that had me laughing, including an entire chapter from a horse’s perspective. I would honestly read a whole book with a horse main character if Louise Erdrich wrote it. Although this book is technically historical fiction, it felt like it was holding a mirror up to today. A lot of the issues covered (land rights, missing/murdered Indigenous women, fetishizing Native women, etc.) are still so relevant right now. The author’s note at the end of the book is a must read. Especially if you think events in the book are false or an exaggeration. It might be a bold statement, but The Night Watchman is my favourite book that I’ve read by Louise Erdrich. She honoured her grandfather, and the Anishinaabe people, very well with this work. - Erin @erins_library -- Follow along for more recommendations from Indigenous bookstagrammers and authors during Indigenous Reading Month.
