The Sentence is part of a vanguard of fall fiction - by writers as disparate as Jodi Picoult, Gary Shteyngart, and Michael Connelly - that tries to capture a splintering America during this long pandemic moment. After his suicide, the criminal investigation was closed.The Sentence: It's such an unassuming title (and one that sounds like it belongs to a writing manual) but, Louise Erdrich's latest is a deceptively big novel, various in its storytelling styles ambitious in its immediacy. Dorris had commented to friends that he was innocent of these charges, but lacked faith that he would be exonerated. It was later revealed that a massive investigation into his physical and sexual abuse of his adopted children had been undertaken. When Dorris committed suicide in 1997, it was shocking: Dorris had just published his second novel and was at the top of his profession. Erdrich separated from Dorris in 1995, moving to a nearby home she initially claimed was rented as a temporary solution, but later revealed she had bought outright. Fearing violence from the young man, the couple took the boy to court, but Sava was acquitted. In 1994 his adopted son, Sava, sent the couple threatening letters demanding money. The three adopted children all suffered from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and required a great deal of exhausting and constant attention. Michael Dorris suffered from depression and suicidal ideation. This technique has been likened to William Faulkner ( The Sound and the Fury) who set many of his stories and novels in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi, linking most of his characters to that fictional time and place. Each book in the series is not a direct sequel to the prior story instead, Erdrich explores different aspects of the setting and the characters and tells interlocking stories that are both part of a fictional universe and standalone stories. Six more novels followed- Tracks, The Bingo Palace, Tales of Burning Love, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Four Souls, and The Painted Drum). The Master Butchers Singing Club (2003)Įrdrich returned to the setting of Love Medicine for her second novel, The Beet Queen, expanding the scope beyond the reservation to include the nearby town of Argus, North Dakota, (the book series is sometimes referred to as the Argus novels as a result) and employing the same technique of multiple narrators.The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse (2001).
