The author of award-winning novels like Love Medicine, The Beet Queen, and The Bingo Palace, Louise Erdrich is one of the most gifted, prolific and challenging contemporary Native American novelists. In Erdrich's new work, The Plague of Doves, she paints a portrait of the complex allegiances, passions and drama of a haunting land and its people.


Writers on a New England Stage is a partnership between New Hampshire Public Radio and the Music Hall in Portsmouth, in collaboration with RiverRun Bookstore. The series brings award-winning, nationally-recognized authors to the Music Hall stage to talk about their works with NHPR's Laura Knoy, and also features music by award-winning rock trio Dreadnaught. Excerpts of each event are heard on NHPR's The Exchange, and the full audio is available on NHPR.org following the broadcast.
