Louise Erdrich fans: Did Lipsha Morrissey die?

[Breathless Wonder]

After seeing that Louise Erdrich has a new book out, i went back and read the ones I hadn't read yet.

Did Lipsha die at the end of "The Bingo Palace"?

Someone? Anyone?

The way I'm reading it, he did. But I don't want to believe it!

BW- I have a copy of The Bingo Palace here, and I'm reading the end trying to refresh my memory; it does sound like he died, but I'll have to look a bit more closely.

The library copy of Four Souls is ready for me to pick up today!!! But I want to hurry up and finish The Master Butcher's Singing Club before I start reading it.
