From the Paper:
"SynopsisLouise Erdrich, like many of the characters in her novels and short stories, is part Native American, part something else in her case, her family is a mixture of a German-American father and a Chippewa mother. Erdrich's parents worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs as teachers on a nearby North Dakota reservation and she recalls that her father regularly recited memorized poetry " Frost and Byron " to her and her six siblings. Erdrich started her literary career as a poet, supporting herself by working at a Kentucky Fried Chicken and on road construction crews.
At 28, Erdrich published her first novel Love Medicine - which had been rejected by numerous publishing houses - when her husband, the author Michael Dorris, resubmitted it, posing as her literary agent."
