THE ROUND HOUSE BY LOUISE ERDRICH
The novel is told by a first person narrator, and the first chapter is entitled "1988" after the year
in which the events take place. Who is the narrator? When is the narrator telling us this story?
(Be sure to include any evidence from the novel to get help you reach conclusions.) Discuss
Erdrich's choice to tell the story this way rather than in real time. How do you think it's working
so far as you are learning about what has happened and where the story is going?
