Join Let’s Talk About It, a book club for people who love to read and discuss great literature! Read "The Round House" and participate in a discussion led by Laura Arata. A brilliant chronicler of Native American life, Louise Erdrich transports readers to the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family. Riveting and suspenseful, The Round House is a page-turning masterpiece — at once a powerful coming-of-age story, a mystery and a tender, moving novel of family, history and culture. This is part of a five-part series connecting book discussion with the Museum’s exhibition Cheyenne Ledger Artists of Fort Marion.
Laura J. Arata Ph.D., is a public historian who specializes in the North American West, with an emphasis on race, gender and ethnicity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is particularly interested in the popular memory, material culture and heritage tourism of the “wild West” and the American frontier.
