As I read my Kindle, I highlight intriguing or beautifully descriptive passages from the novel. Here are a few more from Erdrich:
“…my head seemed to balloon out and fill with bees.”
“Linda Wishkob was magnetically ugly.”
“Travis’ father had taken him into the city to see the Catholic president and his elegant first lady, who was wearing a suit the exact mute pink as the inside of a cat’s mouth.”
