The Sentence
by Louise Erdrich
Louise Erdrich's The Sentence is a ghost story that doubles as a chronicle of one impossible year in Minneapolis. Narrated by Tookie, a formerly incarcerated Ojibwe bookseller, it braids the haunting of an independent bookstore with the grief and reckoning of 2020. The hook is unusual: a dead customer who won't leave the shop, set against a city coming apart.
