Tommy Orange's groundbreaking novel, 'There There,' masterfully weaves together the stories of twelve distinct characters from Native American communities. Each is traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow for their own reasons, their lives converging in a powerful and unforgettable climax. The novel grapples with the complexities of urban Native identity, historical trauma, and the struggle to find a sense of place in a world that has often tried to erase them. It's a polyphonic, intense, and deeply moving exploration of a community's pain, resilience, and hope.
