Tommy Orange's debut novel, There There, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
His follow-up, Wandering Stars , is at once a prequel and a sequel to There There.
Orange addresses the many atrocities tribal communities have faced in what he calls “ America ’s longest war”.
There There thrust you into the spotlight as a leading voice in contemporary Native literature.
Wandering Stars will be six years since her debut novel There There took six years to write.
Her characters are inevitably going to be thinking about what it means to be a Native person in this country too.
Since There There debuted, we’ve experienced a racial reckoning and a Native renaissance.
Lily Gladstone being nominated for an Oscar is also a huge moment on a huge stage, and I hope that leads to more people taking risks with us.
Still, I think it is a time to celebrate—and there's more coming from a lot of creative Native people who are doing really exciting things.
