Laughing with the Erdrich Sisters

Heid and Lise Erdrich's visit to campus was great fun! Their writing is terrific and it was a surprise (at least to this writer) to discover how funny both sisters are. Lise, especially, is a natural comedian. The Missouri Room was filled with laughter on Monday night (November 3). The sisters also took their show on the road and visited BSC classrooms on Tuesday, November 4.

The BSC Library owns several works by the Erdrich sisters, including:

  • Fishing for Myth: Poems by Heid Erdrich
  • The Mother's Tongue by Heid Erdrich
  • Sister Nations: Native American Women Writers on Community edited by Heid Erdrich and Laura Tohe

  • Bears Make Rock Soup and Other Stories by Lise Erdrich
  • Night Train: Stories by Lise Erdrich
  • Sacagawea by Lise Erdrich

A new book by Heid, National Monuments, will be available soon and the library will get a copy.

Another sister, Louise Erdrich, is also a well-known, award-winning writer. Check out her books at the BSC Library, too!

The BSC Library's catalog, ODIN, is your gateway to finding these books.
