SASS CONFERENCE: WATER AND THE AMERICAN LITERARY HERITAGE

The highlight of the 3-day conference on Water and the American Literary Heritage hosted at Barcelona University was Louise Erdrich's lecture on April 1st.
She lectured on her work, the importance of water in the Native American tradition, specially in the Chippewa tradition she comes from, about the role of women as preservers and carriers of water, about spirituality and about the future of the planet in terms of control of the water supplies and water pollution. It was a deep, moving lecture for which we only have three words: Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!
