THERE THERE
THERE THERE by Tommy Orange is an incredible novel that has stayed with me for years after I first read it. The book’s multiple Native American narrators share their interwoven journeys leading up to a powwow in Oakland. Orange’s prose is breathtakingly beautiful and his characters navigate intergenerational trauma, addiction, art grants, heists, unrequited love, and more. I listened to the audiobook while commuting (pre-pandemic, naturally), and had to pull over multiple times to catch my breath and wipe away tears at Orange’s moving storytelling.
