She lives in Upstate New York, in a trailer home near the banks of Lake Gitchee Gumee, with her mother, Evangeline, and her four siblings, all sired by different fathers.
I was disappointed to find that, although the style of her previous The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group was evident, Janowitz's attempts at humor fell terribly flat.
There is very little direction in By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee and the characters lack even a remote sense of credibility.

 The Song of Hiawatha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Disney cartoons include episodes in which inept protagonists are beset by comic calamities on camping trips.
Often these are introduced by a mock-solemn intonation of the lines about the shores of Gitche Gumee.
The most famous of these was the 1937 Silly Symphony Little Hiawatha, whose hero is a small boy whose pants keep falling down.

There's room for success in that middle ground, but it's extremely difficult to achieve, in part because every viewer or reader has a separate threshhold of acceptance for unreality, a point at which attempts at humor stop being funny and become merely ridiculous.
Maud Slivenowicz, the nineteen year-old narrator of the novel, lives with her mother and four siblings -- each of whom had a separate father -- in a trailer on the outskirts of a small city in upstate New York.
There's enough substance in By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee to make further investigation worthwhile, but satisfaction cannot be guaranteed.

By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee (1996) [novel]
Evangeline Slivenowicz and her five children - from five different fathers - live together in a tiny trailer by the slightly impure waters of Lake Gitches Gumee.
At nineteen, Maud, the novel's heroine, is obsessed with sex, power, money, and how to get every single thing she wants, in a way that - although lacking any morality - never involves much violence...

I always try to blame this on the fact that I grew up spending my summers in the woods, where there are plenty of plants around that grow all on their own without any human intervention.
But the truth is that lots of people have beautiful gardens on the shores of Gitchee Gumee.
I am told that the shores of Gitchee Gumee were persistently dark, chilly, and rainy that summer.

IN TAMA JANOWITZ'S newest novel, By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee, an outspoken single mother instructs her children in the facts of life, quizzing them with the question "How far will beauty get you?"
I recall these lessons as I meet Janowitz at a theater in downtown Berkeley, where the New York­based author is conducting a series of Gitchee Gumee readings.
In Gitchee Gumee--a tremendously funny satire that could start a whole new genre of welfare chic--the narrator is Maude Slivenowicz, an amoral, impoverished 17-year old whose view of sexuality is informed by her encyclopedia-like knowledge of the sex lives of insects.

The home of Hiawatha was a Chippewa Indian village on the shores of Gitchee Gumee.
If your student isn’t familiar with what a peninsula is, show him a map of Michigan and explain that it is a piece of land almost entirely surrounded by water.
Michigan was named after the Chippewa word for great lake, “michigama”, because the state is surrounded by water on four shores.

 Contemporary Literary Criticism | Janowitz, Tama | INTRODUCTION
Janowitz exploits the Shakespearean conceit of “gender in disguise” in The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group (1992), which centers around Pamela Trowel (who sells advertising for Hunter's World magazine) and her befriending of a nine-year-old street urchin.
Gender themes are also woven into By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee (1996), a story based on the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The novel focuses on Maud Slivenowicz, a nineteen-year-old who lives with her family in a trailer by the polluted shores of Lake Superior.

His books were bestsellers, achieving fame both in the United States and abroad.
His poems created and popularized American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitchee Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the schooner Hesperus, the village flsmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, and many more.
Phrases from his poems have become part of our national culture: "ships that pass in the night," "into each life some rain must fall," "the mills of God grind slowly," and "the patter of little feet" are a few examples.
