“One of The New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year and winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, Tommy Orange’s wondrous and shattering bestselling novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize. Hailed as an instant classic, 'There There' is at once poignant and unflinching, utterly contemporary and truly unforgettable.” Description from the Penguin Random House website.
