The Red Convertible ( Selected And New Stories 1978-2008 ) ( True First Edition ) (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

phew. finally done with this one! So good writing sometimes gets wearisome. I like Louise Erdrich a bunch but found this book to be a challenge. I think that part of it was the weird confusion of stories that were familiar from being part of other books of hers and the way most of the stories had a certain similarity of place and characters that made me Want to connect them into a novel even if they were not Really connected. On top of that, some of them Were connected in actuality. I felt like I needed a guide book to the book.I think that one of things I like about her novels is the way they are made of stories within the story and the way those stories cross through time and character emphasis. Works great in a novel. All that said, most of the stories themselves were thought provoking and intriguing. Reading this collection is like visiting dear old friends you haven't seen in years. After a few minutes of catching up on the news, you relax and bathe in the comfort of these precious souls. These stories are unaltered from their original form, and they are arranged chronologically, so you can see Erdrich's growth as a writer from page to page. Each story is the perfect length for the quick before-going-to-sleep read. Grab a copy of the book for your bedside table.
