Karen Louise Erdrich was born on June 7, 1954 in Little Falls, Minnesota. Erdrich grew up in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where both of her parents were employed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. She is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. Erdrich graduated from Dartmouth College in 1976 with an AB degree, and she received a Master of Arts in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University in 1979.
Erdrich published a number of poems and short stories from 1978 to 1982. In 1981 she married author and anthropologist Michael Dorris, and together they published The World's Greatest Fisherman, which won the Nelson Algren Award in 1982. In 1984 she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Love Medicine, which is an expansion of a story that she had co-written with Dorris. Love Medicine was also awarded the Virginia McCormick Scully Prize (1984), the Sue Kaufman Prize (1985) and the Los Angeles Times Award for best novel (1985).
In addition to her prose, Erdrich has written several volumes of poetry, a textbook, children's books, and short stories and essays for popular magazines. She has been the recipient of numerous awards for professional excellence, including the National Magazine Fiction Award in 1983 and a first-prize O. Henry Award in 1987. Erdrich has also received the Pushcart Prize in Poetry, the Western Literacy Association Award, the 1999 World Fantasy Award, and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction in 2006. In 2007 she refused to accept an honorary doctorate from the University of North Dakota in protest of its use of the "Fighting Sioux" name and logo.
Erdrich's novel The Round House made the New York Times bestseller list in 2013.
The stunning first novel in Louise Erdrich's Native American series, Love Medicine tells the story of two families, the Kashpaws and the Lamartines. Written in Erdrich's uniquely poetic, powerful style, it is a multi-generational portrait of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable drama of anger, desire, and the healing power that is love medicine.

生病瞭自然需要藥物的療治,但至於心病,愛則是最好的療藥。《愛藥》這部美國當代著名作傢路易絲•厄德裏剋的小說,便是是探尋瞭當代印第安人的心靈世界,道齣瞭愛對於印第安人心靈的撫慰作用。 對印第安人文化的瞭解,始於凱文•科斯特納執導的電影《與狼共舞》,其中...
評分在初讀之時,所謂的“沉重”與“苦難”卻更易被印第安人類似原生狀態的情愛熱情所掩蓋。加之並非按某一戲劇綫索跟進的組織手法,淡而散,所以有男生說不能讀完,因為顯得太“女氣”。 另一個原因大約在於作者有意或無意地將“苦難”輕描淡寫而過——和《活著》相比,這種色彩...
評分摘自《新浪博客》 作者:偷桃竊藥 準備看這部小說,是因為《愛藥》這個名字吸引瞭我。我也就像所有膚淺的人們一樣,渴望能有一種愛藥。但是這部小說並不是說如何尋找愛藥,它講述的是人生。正因為我們還年輕,許多事情還沒有經曆過,所以急於瞭解人生內容。於是看彆人的...
評分細膩、靈動、魔幻版的語言,有些比喻令人心馳神往。 但全書失之冗瑣拖遝,結構安排不夠精緻細巧,大可砍去三分之一。 省略的部分略顯突兀。 作者強於女性敘事,盡管使用復調手法,但男性話語和人物形象處於相對黯淡的劣勢。女性形象突齣鮮明。
