"Written over the past two decades, Louise Erdrich's story collection features a range of characters - a tribal newsletter editor whose son tells her a story that nothing in her experience can encompass; immigrant farmers whose tenuous hold on the earth, and sanity, is challenged; and ordinary people, bird lovers, artists, grade-school teachers, and romantics. A girl decides to spend her life with a stone. A man is confronted with a folk-singing thief. A woman enters a corporately owned afterlife to seek revenge on her father. Accompanied by specially commissioned artwork by Aza Erdrich Abe - an intimate ... collaboration between mother and daughter - these stories offer an opportunity to celebrate the ... imagination of one of America's most important writers"-- Dust jacket flap.
