Python's Kiss [Bridges eBook] : Stories. HarperCollins, 2026. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. HTML:<p><b>From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich, a captivating collection of short stories</b></p> <p><i>It was as though I was chosen—marked out by the python's kiss for wisdom or maybe sorrow. Or perhaps, I think now, a sense of the ridiculous in extremes of experience. Also, I hoped for a long life.</i></p> <p>Written over the past two decades, Louise Erdrich's magnificent story collection features a range of characters—a tribal newsletter editor whose son tells her a story that nothing in her experience can encompass, immigrant farmers whose tenuous hold on the earth, and sanity, is challenged, and ordinary people, bird lovers, artists, grade-school teachers, and romantics. A girl decides to spend her life with a stone. A man is confronted with a folk-singing thief. A woman enters a corporately owned afterlife to seek revenge on her father.</p> <p>Accompanied by specially commissioned artwork by Aza Erdrich Abe—an intimate and revelatory creative collaboration between mother and daughter—these stories offer an oppor­tunity to celebrate the wisdom and brilliant, wide-ranging imagination of one of America's most important writers.</p>.
