Dennis E. Staples Join us as we welcome Dennis Staples and celebrate the publication of his first book, This Town Sleeps. Staples is an Ojibwe writer from Bemidji and a graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts with an MFA in fiction. He is an enrolled member of the Red Lake Nation. Set on a reservation in far northern Minnesota, This Town Sleeps explores the many ways story, culture, landscape, and lineage shape our lives, our understanding of the world we inhabit, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it all. |

New releases Tuesday is generally the day new books are released. Each Tuesday, we feature some new releases on our Facebook page. Louise Erdrich is a magnificent storyteller, and her formidable skills are on display in Night Watchman. The book draws on the life of her maternal grandfather, who worked as a night watchman in rural North Dakota in the 1950s. He also was involved in the fight to prevent dispossession of Native lands, and traveled to Washington D.C. to plead the case of his people.
