Erdrich, a highly regarded author for nearly 30 years, won the 2012 National Book Award for her latest novel "The Round House", about an Ojibwe boy and his quest to avenge his mother's rape.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times best-seller, Erdrich is the owner of the independent bookstore Birchbark Books in Minneapolis.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
The Heginbotham Literary Lecture Series is made possible by private donors who established an endowment to honor Dr. Eleanor Heginbotham and her distinguished record of teaching and scholarship at Concordia University as well as her many contributions to the literary community in the Twin Cities. Heginbotham is a professor emeritus of English and Modern Languages, an award-winning Emily Dickinson expert and a Senior Fulbright Scholar who served at Concordia for 10 years until her retirement in 2004.
