Louise Erdrich’s new novel, “The
Night Watchman” (Harper, 448 pp.,
eeeg), shimmers and dances like the
northern lights the book’s cover evokes.
Thomas Wazhushk, the night watch-
man of the title, works security at a jew-
el bearing plant near the Turtle Moun-
tain reservation in North
Dakota that employs his
niece, Patrice. It is 1953, and
Thomas, a tribal council
member, is fighting a con-
gressman who wants to cut
his people off from their
land.
Smart, beautiful and adamantly in-
dependent, Patrice prides herself on be-
ing the best at the intensely intricate
work of laying slivers of jewels into tiny
keyboards for watches. Patrice’s job al-
lows her to support her mother and
brother amid the turmoil that her alco-
holic father wreaks on their household
on the occasions he lurches home.
Patrice – nicknamed Pixie for her elf-
in eyes – fears for her sister, Vera, who
has gone to Minneapolis and had a baby
but has not been heard from since. Vi-
sions of Vera haunt Patrice’s dreams
and those of their mother, Zhaanat. Pa-
trice borrows days off from her work-place pals to investigate.
Arriving in “the Cities,” Patrice is
strong-armed into a lucrative job in a
nightclub with underwater entertain-
ment. Dressed in a blue rubber cow suit,
she swims in a tank as a female “Babe”
in the Paul Bunyan story. Patrice stum-
bles into a dark world that hints of the
horrors her sister endured. Still, no sign
of Vera.
Back home, two men long for Pa-
trice’s affections: Wood Mountain, a
Native American boxer, and his coach,
math teacher Lloyd Barnes, a white
man. Thomas plans a boxing match be-
tween Wood Mountain and his Anglo ri-
val, Joe Wobleszynski, to raise money
for a trip to Washington to testify.
Erdrich, who is part Chippewa, is a
gifted, award-winning storyteller
whose writing introduces readers to Na-
tive American characters they will be
sad to leave at book’s end. She subtly
tells the story of the ruinous way thiscountry treated its native people. As
night watchman, Thomas fights off
sleep, he often is visited by the impish
spirit of his friend Roderick, whose sto-
ry unspools the cruelties of Indian
schools designed to erase a people rath-
er than educate them. Vera’s story of
sexual enslavement was inspired by the
real-life sexual trafficking of native
women.
Thomas is based on Erdrich’s grand-
father, who testified before Congress
against a bill that would have “emanci-
pated” the tribe – in reality, stripping
the tribe of all federal support and ex-
pelling them from their land.
“Watchman” has it all – the tingly
pangs of Patrice’s sexual awakening and
the warmth of the long-standing love
between Thomas and his wife, Rose; the
joys of workplace girlfriends and the ag-
ony of romantic triangles; the tense
buildup to a boxing bout and a face-off
with a villainous real-life congressman.BOOK REVIEW
