Tommy Orange is giving readers a view into contemporary Native life in his book “There There.” This enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma is being hailed for his storytelling abilities. The novel was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. His book takes readers into the lives of several characters in Oakland, California. They both find and lose themselves in the urban setting, wrangling the tangles of life and defining their Native American identity. We visit with Tommy Orange and our May Book of the Month.
