Writing with subtle compassion and magical imagination, Erdrich has done justice to the complexities of existence in general and Native American life in particular. Her prose shimmers: a piano being carried across the plains is ''an ebony locust.'' This novel will be remembered for a cornucopia of set pieces, all bizarre and stunning: wounded and taken hostage by a bank robber and pinned to the running board of his Overland automobile, Agnes, ''her leg a flare of blood,'' briefly touches hands with her astonished lover as the car crosses his path old man Nanapush, impaled on fish hooks that pin him to a boat that's hitched to the antlers of a wounded moose, careens through the woods in delirious exhaustion. Erdrich seems to be inhabiting her characters, so intense and viscerally rendered are her portrayals.
