This month, the Book Club is reading There There by Tommy Orange. The group will meet in the library on Monday, May 20 from 11 to noon.

There There is a debut novel by Cheyenne and Arapaho author Tommy Orange. Published in 2018, the book follows a large group of Native Americans living in the Oakland, California area.

There There explores the themes of Native peoples living in urban spaces (Urban Indians), and issues of ambivalence and complexity related to Natives’ struggles with identity and authenticity. There There was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize and was also awarded a Gold Medal for First Fiction by the California Book Awards.
