The Night Wanderer is important, intriguing, and well worth the read. He turns out to be a Native vampire-a Wendigo or fierce owl warned about in Anishinabe traditional stories-who is returning home.Īngry at her white boyfriend, who treats her poorly, Tiffany flees into the late-night forest. “His movements slow, soft and deliberate-like those of an animal hunting its prey.” He cannot live in daylight. He looks Anishinabe and claims to be of Native ancestry. L’Errant seems hundreds of years old, but says he is in his early 20s. Then Pierre L’Errant, a weird guy from Europe, moves into the basement of Tiffany’s home. Though her Granny Ruth still speaks in Anishinabe, Tiffany’s not interested in learning the language. She’s having to deal with racism and other problems at school. Her mother has left home to live with her new boyfriend, who’s white. Tiffany Hunter, a young Native teenager, is trying to find some meaning in life.
