Love Medicine: A Novel | Louise Erdrich
65 posts | 81 read | 78 to read
The first book in the tetralogy that includes The Beet Queen, Tracks, and The Bingo Palace follows the lives of two native American families and is enhanced by four previously unpublished chapters. The first book in Louise Erdrich's Native American series, which also includes The Beet Queen, Tracks, and The Bingo Palace, Love Medicine tells the story of two families--the Kashpaws and the Lamartines. Now resequenced by the author with the addition of never-before-published chapters, this is a publishing event equivalent to the presentation of a new and definitive text. Written in Erdrich's uniquely poetic, powerful style, Love Medicine springs to raging life: a multigenerational portrait of new truths and secrets whose time has come, of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable drama of anger, desire, and the healing power that is Love Medicine. Discover the writer whom Philp Roth called "the most interesting new American novelist to have appeared in years" all over again.

It‘s Erdrich so I‘m pretty sure I couldn‘t give it anything other than a pick. That being said, I do so wholeheartedly. Of course it‘s well written. It‘s also a compelling story about the small moments in life, the ways in which people connect with each other and/or don‘t, how some days all you can do is live, and how some days you can‘t do anything but get yourself in trouble. This is one I‘ll read again.

SamAnne Read it decades ago and it‘s time for a reread. 10mo

There is no way I will be able to put into words how much I enjoyed this. This is a story of belonging, of longing, of hope, and destruction. It‘s so sad, but it‘s so authentic, too. I cannot believe this is my first Erdrich. I used this for the #FlourishAndBlotts reading challenge prompt, “Angelina Johnson: BIPOC author.” (Erdrich is “a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized tribe of the Anishinaabe.”)

For my second #authoramonth read I moved from Erdrich‘s latest book to her first. It was also the first book of hers I read but, since that was back in college, it was almost like reading it again for the first time. This novel told in interconnected stories about overlapping lives sparked my love for Erdrich and revisiting it made it easy to see why.

Suet624 I‘ve read this book three times over many years. I think I‘m ready to read it again. I really like it. (edited) 1y

This was Erdrich‘s 1984 debut, a novel in stories and it put her on the literary map. Full of heart and pathos and featuring the lives, loves, and trials of the extended Kashpaw, Pillager, Nanapush and Lamartine families on and around Chippewa reservation in N. Dakota.

#RememberingJenny In 2020 Jenny took part in the Erdrich Medicine Readalong on Instagram. I spent many happy hours in the Reading Envy pub and thought of her while reading this.

Leftcoastzen I remember loving this book ! It still hurts & shocks me about Jenny. I had no real or online connection other than enjoying her podcast & admiration for her support of books, writers, & readers . (edited) 2y

Very much a character-driven work, containing hints of her even better works to come. I thoroughly enjoyed this look at the Nanapush, Kashpaw, and Pillager families.

Suet624 This was the first one I read by her so many years ago. I loved it. When I finished I went right back to the beginning and read it again. The interconnections between the characters in each story required that I write down the list of names and who and how they were connected. 2y

This was a multi-generational tale that I mostly enjoyed. The story ebbed and flowed a lot. There were so many characters that even with the help of a family tree I would get a little confused at times. I would‘ve liked some of the characters to have a little more depth. The two featured matriarchs were a little too close to the Madonna/Magdalene cliché, but I really like Indigenous literature so there were aspects that still resonated.

SamAnne I need to do a reread. 4y

What a fantastic debut novel! It has linking stories from different Ojibwe people in different generations, but not only do they tell a shared story, they interlink with the books I already read - Tracks and Four Souls - even though those books were written later. I did read the 1993 revised edition.

This felt more like a series of linked short stories than a novel. Although there are many common circumstances between the two families joined by marriages and adoptions, there is no overarching plot binding the different accounts. It doesn't need one: each chapter stands on its own- the writing can be dreamy, comic, or tragic, and it builds to intense places. Erdrich is 3/3 for me, and I can't wait to follow these characters into other novels.

jveezer Sooooooo good‼️📖🤓❤️ 5y
Suet624 This was the first book of hers that I read many years ago. When I finished it I read it again immediately. I wrote up a family tree along the way. It holds a very special spot in my heart. 5y
Billypar @Suet624 I didn't read it again, but after I finished I couldn't stop sifting back through it and looking for any connections between the stories I might have missed. I can certainly see why it's a favorite! 5y

⭐️4/5
Complex story line that follows one Native American family‘s lives. With the intricate web of relationships between characters that can be hard to follow, this story requires some attention to follow. However, the stories that are shared are moving and leave you pondering.

I love Erdrich so I was easily convinced to give this book a try. She tackles love and conflict in family, love, politics, history and more. Her style of writing is so unique, and her descriptions always pull me in. I recommend this book and the rest of the series as a fun and intriguing read.

This is a family saga that takes place mostly on a Chippewa reservation in ND. Each chapter is narrated by a different member of the Nunapush/Lamartine or Kashpaw families. We learn of the past, their hopes, struggles, dreams, talents, and weaknesses. It is about love and grief and kindness with a touch of revenge and despair. #1001books #nativelit #diversereads #familysaga

Louise Erdrich broke my heart about four times in this book and she started right in the first chapter. It was my first time reading her work and I loved it. A family saga of the Kashpaws and Lamartines most of the time but with each chapter almost a short story from a different person‘s perspective. The writing is phenomenal 😍

Couldn't get enough Erdrich in 2017. I read 9 of her books. I'll probably devour the rest this year. Toril Moi wrote in a recent book review: 'In his 1925 essay “Notes on the Novel,” Spanish critic José Ortega y Gasset, in his deeply non-modernist way, argues that a good novel has to create a world. The writer‘s world-creating powers immerses the reader in the book‘s universe and makes us forget our own.' Erdrich definitely has this superpower.

RowReads1 @teebe Does he just claim heritage? 7y
teebe @RowReads1 seems that way. His bio says "a descendant of the Mi'kmaq people (part of the Algonquin nation)" and the Mi'kmaq are NOT Algonquin. I'm Algonquin... we're in the same language family (Algonquian) as the Mi'kmaq language according to linguists, but they are two separate nations. Plus "descendent" always rings alarm bells for me. I've seen people call out the content of his books too. 7y
RowReads1 @teebe Thanks for letting me know. I'm remembering talk about this on Twitter. 7y
Louise @teebe So interesting to hear you are Algonquin! Are you from Ontario? Are there any Algonquin writers whose books you recommend? 7y
teebe @Louise I'm Algonquin, Mohawk and Tuscarora 😁 From Quebec and living in Ontario... but, well, it's all Algonquin territory anyway. Not many but there's Lynn Gehl, Jay Odjick, Rick Revelle, Albert Dumont, Jane Chartrand. 7y
Louise @teebe What a fascinating heritage! I used to live in Ottawa and loved to visit Algonquin Park! Small connection! 😉Thanks for the list of authors. I'll look them up! I'm doing the #ReadingAroundTheWorld challenge and have found it really interesting so far to include aboriginal authors from the various countries. 7y
teebe @Louise Cool, I currently live in Ottawa. Hadn't heard about Reading Around the World until now but that's great. An Indigenous view of any country tends to be vastly different than the mainstream. I set myself a personal challenge recently that I'm going to read at least one book (but probably more) by an indigenous person from every continent. 7y
Louise @teebe That is a great personal challenge. Here's one I can recommend from Taiwan: 7y

I am so glad to have finally read Erdrich's first novel that is more like a compilation or patchwork of short stories centered around two Chippewa families over multiple generations. It touches on so many themes and issues. Each section stands alone but it is stronger in its connectedness. I won't forget June, Marie, Lulu, Nestor and Lipsha. I highly recommend this novel. Even though it was written in the 80s, it is still fresh.
