The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich has a lot to say but it felt like it’d be better if it were half as long

it bothered me that someone mentioned three pointers in the 50s. good but definitely second tier Erdrich.

I’m a big fan of Erdrich and I like that book quite a bit but I still have the feeling that it might have been better as three different novels, because all three of the interconnecting storylines seem like they need more time to be fleshed out.
