Fiction in a Time of Pandemic
This week, author Louise Erdrich was named the winner of the Aspen Words Literary Prize for
The Night Watchman, a novel based on the life of her grandfather, one of the last remaining first speakers of Ojibwe. It takes place during the time of “Termination” the 1953 federal policy of dispossession of Native Americans which sought to disband tribes and move Indigenous people into urban areas.
Erdrich accepted the award on behalf of her grandfather, and thanked those who, like him, “demanded justice, and who are still demanding justice and accountability from our institutions.” In this, she ties her tale of recent-historical fiction to the goals of the AWLP, a $35,000 annual award to a work that illuminates a vital contemporary issue and demonstrates the transformative power of literature on thought and culture.
