Writing in Love: An Annotated Bibliography of Critical Responses to the Poetry and Novels of Louise Erdrich and Michael Dorris
Year: 1986
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years Louise Erdrich and Michael Dorris have teamed to enrich the Native American Renaissance in a way previously unknown in imaginative literature.Working collaboratively, the pair, married since 1981, have agreed that first-draft creation should dictate subsequent claims to authorship.Whichever of the two writes the initial draft of a volume gains credit for that volume.Although multiple drafts have proven as crucial as consistent husband and wife interaction concerning content and style, firstdraft primacy has governed the professional relationship, which to date has produced four critically acclaimed volumes.The first three carry Erdrich's name, the most recent Dorris's: Iucklight, a book of poetry published in 1984; Love Medicine, a novel appearing in the same year; The Beet Queen, a novel published in 1986; and A Yellow Ruff in Blue Water, a novel published in 1987.
