ABSTRACT Erasure, loss, and ‘lessness’ are ever-present in Louise Erdrich’s 2017 novel Future Home of the Living God, a resistive narrative of ecological and reproductive nightmares. Yet the novel has been repeatedly maligned by reviewers who have critically misunderstood the intricate complexity of its themes and methods. In this essay, I build on a growing chorus of intersectionally minded defences of Future Home by exploring how Erdrich’s intertwined representations of Euro-American settler colonialism, ecological and climate crisis, and pregnancy function as gothically dystopian, drawing on politically charged tropes of horrific excess, rot and decay, helpless imprisonment, uncanny doubles, and family curses. The result of Erdrich’s underappreciated experimentation with genre is an Indigenous feminist Gothic theorisation of the terrifying relationship between environmental violence, reproductive oppression, and settler colonial values.
