Here leading scholars analyze the three critically acclaimed recent novelsThe Plague of Doves [tel], The Round House [tel], and LaRose [tel]that make up what has become known as Erdrichs justice trilogy. Set in small towns and reservations of northern North Dakota, these three interwoven works bring together a vibrant cast of characters whose lives are shaped by history, identity, and community. Individually and collectively, the essays herein illuminate Erdrichs storytelling abilities; the complex relations among crime, punishment, and forgiveness that characterize her work; and the Anishinaabe contexts .
