Get Lit: 'The Night Watchman' by Louise Erdrich

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 6, 2020

We’ll air our conversation with National Book Award winner, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction winner, Louise Erdrich, from our latest Get Lit with All Of It book club about her new novel, The Night Watchman. The book is inspired by the true story of Erdrich’s grandfather, a Chippewa man who fought to oppose the “Termination Bill,” an attempt by the federal government in the 1950s to terminate Native American rights.
