Shawnee and her child were taken in by Zelda Kapshaw, Lipsha's aunt, who cares so much about appearances that she wanted to give the community the impression that Shawnee is eventually planning to marry Lyman. Shawnee Ray has a son with Lipsha's uncle, Lyman Lamartine.
He decides to pursue her, despite the many factors working against their love. At the dance, he catches a glimpse of Shawnee Ray Toose, who he becomes infatuated with. He has an awkward encounter at one of the reservation dances and realizes that after his time away, he no longer feels comfortable in the routine of life on the reservation.
When he receives the package, Lipsha decides it is time to return home to the reservation where he was raised. Despite Lipsha's academic potential-he got a high score on the ACT in high school and many thought he was destined for great things-most of the members of his community think of him as a deadbeat, a man with no steady job or direction who is wasting his life smoking dope in the city. She makes a copy of the picture and sends it in a package to Lipsha, who is living in Fargo, North Dakota and working at a sugar beet factory. The story begins with Lulu Lamartine, Lipsha's grandmother, walking to the post office and removing the wanted poster of her son, Gerry Nanapush, from the wall. The Bingo Palace alternates between two narrators, Lipsha and presumably the tribal spirits who watch over Lipsha. This book is the fourth in the series, followed by Tales of Burning Love, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Four Souls, and The Painted Drum.
Published in 1994, the narrative is categorized under the romance genre, although it includes themes of tradition and spirituality. The Bingo Palace primarily follows Lipsha Morrissey, the story's protagonist, as he returns from life in the city to his home on the reservation and becomes reconnected to his spiritual and cultural roots while pursuing a new love interest. In The Bingo Palace, American novelist Louise Erdrich writes in the same vein as her previous fiction books in the Love Medicine series- Love Medicine, Tracks, and Beet Queen-which document the complex realities of daily life on a fictional Chippewa, or Ojibwe, reservation in North Dakota.
