This chapter features the user-amended captivity narratives of Louise Erdrich, and Sherman Alexie. These two, not known and most likely not welcome to Mary Rowlandson, proceed to edit her Sovereignty and Goodness of God, turning it into a narrative about indigenous suffering and inventiveness.The three in fact have more than a little in common. Rowlandson, a “wolfish” reader by her own account, made so by her raging and unappeasable hunger, perpetuates that eating disorder as a reading disorder, devouring the gastronomic language of the Bible as additive substance. Hunger here is energizing rather than disabling. Extending from Rowlandson to Louise Erdrich and Sherman Alexie, it turns the captivity narrative into a long-running and input-rich genre, linking the hungry Puritan to two Native readers, with hungers of their own and writing counterfactual histories out of that deficit. Such virtual realities turn the most inhospitable of genres into the most intimate, aligning it with indigenous agency, and reclaiming the past as a yet-to-be-realized future.
