In these interviews, conducted both separately and jointly, they discuss how their writing moves from conception to completion and how \u003ci\u003eThe Beet Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTracks\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Yellow Raft in Blue Water\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Crown of Columbus\u003c\/i\u003e have been enhanced by both their artistic and their matrimonial union. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Being of mixed blood and having lived in both white and Native American worlds, they give an original perspective on American society. Sometimes with humor and always with refreshing candor, their discussions undermine the damaging stereotypes of Native Americans. Some of the interviews focus on their nonfiction book, \u003ci\u003eThe Broken Cord\u003c\/i\u003e, which recounts the struggle to solve their adopted son's health problems from fetal alcohol syndrome. Included are two recent interviews published here for the first time. In this collection, Erdrich and Dorris tell why they have chosen to write about many varying subjects and of why they refuse to be imprisoned in a literary ghetto of writers whose only subjects are Native Americans.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Chavkin\u003c\/b\u003e is editor of \u003ci\u003eConversations with John Gardner\u003c\/i\u003e, published by University Press of Mississippi. \u003cb\u003eNancy Feyl Chavkin\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of social work at Southwest Texas State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 8.96 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 03, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704135381299,"sku":"9780878056521","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QrnceTQB6Z9780878056521_6d653aff-fd8e-46aa-ae1a-fd0f79a0e2e7.webp?v=1763348274","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/conversations-with-louise-erdrich-and-michael-dorris-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
