The Insufficiency of Maps



I bought this book at the university bookstore today. It's a novel. The title and the cover image grabbed me. They both speak to some deeper things I've been thinking about lately. Can't explain exactly how yet, but they do.

According to the copy on the back of the book, "In this powerful debut novel by award-winning Nora Pierce, a young girl must discover the meaning of self and family as she struggles to find her place between two contrasting realities."

It's a book that touches on topics like mental illness, and the Native American experience. Topics that tend to hold my attention.

I'm looking forward to reading it.
