Born in 1954 in Little Falls, Minnesota, she grew up mostly in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where her parents taught at Bureau of Indian Affairs schools. Her fiction reflects aspects of her mixed heritage: German through her father, and French and Ojibwa through her mother. She worked at various jobs, such as hoeing sugar beets, farm work, waitressing, short order cooking, lifeguarding, and construction work, before becoming a writer. She attended the Johns Hopkins creative writing program and received fellowships at the McDowell Colony and the Yaddo Colony. After she was named writer-in-residence at Dartmouth, she married professor Michael Dorris and raised several children, some of them adopted. She and Michael became a picture-book husband-and-wife writing team, though they wrote only one truly collaborative novel, The Crown of Columbus (1991).The Antelope Wife was published in 1998, not long after her separation from Michael and his subsequent suicide. Some reviewers believed they saw in The Antelope Wife the anguish Erdrich must have felt as her marriage crumbled, but she has stated that she is unconscious of having mirrored any real-life events.She is the author of four previous bestselling andaward-winning novels, including Love Medicine; The Beet Queen; Tracks; and The Bingo Palace. She also has written two collections of poetry, Jacklight, and Baptism of Desire. Her fiction has been honored by the National Book Critics Circle (1984) and The Los Angeles Times (1985), and has been translated into fourteen languages.Several of her short stories have been selected for O. Henry awards and for inclusion in the annual Best American Short Story anthologies. The Blue Jay's Dance, a memoir of motherhood, was her first nonfiction work, and her children's book, Grandmother's Pigeon, has been published by Hyperion Press. She lives in Minnesota with her children, who help her run a small independent bookstore called The Birchbark.

罗豫/文 当代印第安人作为美国社会的边缘群体，出现在公众舞台上的角色，常常模式化得可怜。他们是历史书上的一串不光彩的数字，是西部片里一开头就死去的倒霉蛋，是羽毛工艺品的模特，是“酋长”的代名词，是美国小孩玩游戏时热衷扮演的人物。即便“严肃”地被提及，“有识之...

an elegant and thoughful book with some touching sentences

上学期Lucy带我们读的..自己一个人好多句子看不懂...描写有张力.i love both Lulu&Mary!

分开各个篇章看并不觉好看但还是觉得文字叙述的有力，但是直到从头到尾再重温了一遍，觉得能把这么多人物在各个不同的时空穿起来，着实具有很强大的震撼力。

还是英文版给力些，对第二语言更弱的承受力反而削减了对印第安文化的不偏好。
