WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN FICTION 2021
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
It is 1953. Thomas Wazhushk is the night watchman at the first factory to open near the
Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a prominent Chippewa
Council member, trying to understand a new bill that is soon to be put before Congress.
The US Government calls it an 'emancipation' bill; but it isn't about freedom - it threatens
the rights of Native Americans to their land, their very identity. How can he fight this
betrayal?
Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Pixie - 'Patrice' - Paranteau has no desire to
wear herself down on a husband and kids. She works at the factory, earning barely
enough to support her mother and brother, let alone her alcoholic father who sometimes
returns home to bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny to get if she's ever
going to get to Minnesota to find her missing sister Vera.
In The Night Watchman multi-award winning author Louise Erdrich weaves together a
story of past and future generations, of preservation and progress. She grapples with the
worst and best impulses of human nature, illuminating the loves and lives, desires and
ambitions of her characters with compassion, wit and intelligence.
