Michael Dorris’s novels range from adult literary fiction to children’s literature. A Yellow Raft in Blue Water (1987) remains his most celebrated work, telling the story of three generations of Native American women through alternating perspectives. Cloud Chamber (1997) revisits the same family from different angles.
The Crown of Columbus (1991), co-written with Louise Erdrich, blends adventure with literary fiction. Sees Behind Trees (1996) and The Window (1997) are shorter works for younger readers that explore Native American themes through child protagonists.
