| 摘要 | Louise Erdrich's fourteenth novel, The Round House (2012), was the winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 2012 and the American Book Award in 2013. Unlike Erdrich's previous works, which often feature multiple and shifting points of view, this story is narrated by an Ojibwe teenage boy who experiences the turbulent consequences of a crime committed against his mother and decides to seek truth and justice for his family. Described as a "gripping mystery" on the book blurb, the story can be seen as Erdrich's first attempt to make use of the detective genre to draw readers' attention to the complex social, political, historical, and legal situation on reservations. The ending of the story also poses a challenge to readers. In order to see justice done and protect his mother from further harm, the boy protagonist shoots the sexual violator of his mother and becomes a murderer. This paper aims to discuss Erdrich's use of the detective genre in relation to her revelation of the crime and corruption taking place on reservations. In light of Gerald Vizenor's idea of survivance, this study will demonstrate how Indigenous people have suffered, yet resisted, the unjust system of justice and jurisdictional failures brought by settler colonialism through their creative use of the enemy's language. It will also show how the boy narrator survives after he kills the monster in his community and becomes a unique storyteller. |
