The red convertible : selected and new stories, 1978-2008
Louise Erdrich is a fearless and inventive storyteller. In her fictional world, the mystical can emerge from the everyday, the comic turn suddenly tragic, and violence and beauty inhabit a single emotional landscape. Each character in these stories is full of surprises, and the twists and leaps of Erdrich's imagination are made all the more meaningful by the deeper human truth that underlies them. In "Saint Marie," ardent longing propels a fourteen-year-old Indian girl up the hill to the Sacred Heart Convent, and into a life-and-death struggle with the diabolical Sister Leopolda. "Le Mooz" evokes the stinging flames of passion in old age with unexpected, and bitter-sweet, humor. And in "Naked Woman Playing Chopin," passion for music proves more powerful than any experience of carnal or spiritual love.
