Louise Erdrich

Louise Erdrich es una reconocida autora estadounidense, famosa por su escritura de ficción que a menudo presenta setting y personajes de origen nativo americano. Es miembro inscrita de la nación Anishinaabe, también conocida como Chippewa, y tiene membresía en la Banda Turtle Mountain. La escritura de Erdrich es ampliamente reconocida, posicionándola como una de las escritoras nativas más significativas de la segunda ola de lo que el crítico Kenneth Lincoln ha llamado la Renacimiento Native American.

Nació en Little Falls, Minnesota, en 1954, y fue criada en su mayoría en Wahpeton, Dakota del Norte. Sus padres eran maestros en escuelas del Bureau of Indian Affairs. Tiene un origen étnico diverso, con su padre siendo de ascendencia alemana americana y su madre siendo mitad ojibwe y mitad francesa americana. Antes de convertirse en escritora, Erdrich desempeñó diversos trabajos, incluyendo trabajos agrícolas, servir mesas, cocinar a la orden, trabajos de salvavidas y trabajos de construcción. Asistió al programa de escritura creativa de la Universidad Johns Hopkins y recibió becas en el MacDowell Colony y el Yaddo Colony. Después de ser nombrada escritora residente en Dartmouth, se casó con el profesor Michael Dorris, y juntos criaron a varios hijos, algunos de ellos adoptados.

Erdrich es autora de numerosas novelas superventas y galardonadas, como "Love Medicine", "The Beet Queen", "Tracks", "The Bingo Palace", "The Antelope Wife", "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse", y "The Round House". También ha escrito dos colecciones de poesía, "Jacklight" y "Baptism of Desire". Su ficción ha sido honrada por el Círculo de Críticos Nacionales del Libro y Los Ángeles Times, y su trabajo ha sido traducido a catorce idiomas. Varios de sus cuentos cortos han sido seleccionados para los premios O. Henry y para su inclusión en las antologías anuales Best American Short Story.

Además de su escritura, Erdrich también es dueña de una librería independiente. Administra Birchbark Books en Minneapolis, que se especializa en literatura nativa americana y en la comunidad de las Ciudades Gemelas. La librería es una reflexión del compromiso de Erdrich de promover la cultura y la literatura nativa americana. La obra de Erdrich ha tenido un gran impacto en la literatura nativa americana, y sigue siendo una figura destacada en la literatura americana contemporánea.
