The Round House by Louise Erdrich (#2, Fiction, North Dakota (2))

Second book from the Brooklyn Magazine list.  Great book.  As I read the book I kept imagining that the time frame of events took place much farther in the past.  It's sad that so many issues continue to exist between Indians on reservations and the whites nearby.  But, I shouldn't be surprised, I've been in a state (South Dakota) where the kids regularly referred to "The Res" in an extremely derogatory way.

4 out of 5
