Happenings: Louise Erdrich Reading

Louise Erdrich to share many voices, many stories at Wittliff Collections

Louise Erdrich

By A.J. Ortega

Louise Erdrich comes from many worlds and can be identified as many things. She is the daughter of a Chippewa Indian and German American, a businesswoman, a mother, a poet and a New York Times bestselling writer. But, ultimately, she is a storyteller. She has a voice.

Erdich will share her voice with the Texas State community through a reading and book signing on Thursday, April 5, at 3:30 p.m. in the Wittliff Collections. She also will read at the Katherine Anne Porter House in Kyle on Friday, April 6. Both events are free and open to the public.
