Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): ..... a woman is attacked and the life of her 13-year-old son, Joe, is altered forever, along with his family. That's the dramatic outline of the new novel "The Round House" by Louise Erdrich, which has been nominated for a National Book Award.
The story is set on a Native American reservation in North Dakota, and it explores clashes of culture and law between tribal and state jurisdictions in investigating a crime.
I talked with Louise Erdrich recently and asked her first how she came to write the book.
