[edit] Headline text
what is the book The Window about?
[edit] Contradictory
Dorris, born in Concord, NH to Jim and Mary Besy (Burkhardt) Dorris in Louisville, Kentucky, was of mixed Modoc Indian, Irish, and French blood. Okay born in Concord or Louisville, it could not have been both. He died in Concord I know that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.30.220.220 (talk • contribs).
- You're right -- though interestingly, Contemporary Authors Online says, "Born January 30, 1945, Louisville, KY (some sources say Dayton, WA)". I'll update and cite. Deborah-jl Talk 01:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major expansion needed
Michael Dorris was an author first and foremost, and it's very wrong that the really quite horrible tragedy of his life is so firmly to the fore on this page. At the very least there should be summaries of The Broken Cord and A Yellow Raft in Blue Water here. Unfortunately, I haven't read either: could someone who has please expand this article's literary content? Vizjim 08:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
