Louise Erdrich — The Rakish Interview

Louise Erdrich is fighting sleep. This explains a lot.

It’s said that the threshold between sleeping and waking—the lucid yet lawless terrain of twilight—is a cracked door to enlightenment, a conduit to the divine.

Writing becomes a talisman against sleep, as she strings one word after the next simply to stay awake.
