From the Paper:

"Louise Erdrich's short story "The Red Convertible" which was published as part of her book "Love Medicine" is a blend of the authentically autobiographical and the artistically Modernist. Her own life has been marked in many ways by the fundamental themes of Modernism, alienation, disillusionment, fragmentation and uncertainty, for Erdrich's background is one of cultural and biological division with a German-American father and a Chippewa mother who combined their traditions and beliefs in Erdrich's natal household."
