Description: Tartt First Fiction Award! Elemental spans six decades and follows the struggles of two white families and several Lakota women. Besides sharing a location, which is mainly North Dakota, these characters are tied together by loss and grief and by their fearless journey into both everyday horrors and the mystical. Their world is one where children appear and disappear, where recent friends immediately grow apart, and where mental illness steals minds. In the Earth section, a wife, visited by the spirit of a dead Lakota chieftain, descends into madness just as her husband has a very different encounter with a living Lakota woman. In the Air section, a mother’s funeral is the backdrop of a protracted battle between sisters. In the Fire section, a high school student copes with her younger brother’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior. In the Water section, a man re-connects with an important woman from his tumultuous past.These stories explore the transformative and often destructive power of the mind, the devastating effects of violence, and the workings of the undead.
