Thanks for the links, Sam.I plan on joining the conversation after I finish another book. I'm going to listen to this one - Erdrich narrates her audiobooks and she's a delight to listen to.

There is a lot of information out there on Louise Erdich and The Night Watchman. I chose to only include a few links so as not to saturate you , but more is available if you search.
