Tommy Orange makes a striking literary début with his novel "There There", a polyphonic piece of writing which explores Native American identity in the 21st century. The author has drawn on his own experience as a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribe to examine ideas related to place, colonial history and America's complex relationship with indigenous culture.

Great conversations with my students about this book.

I have a lot of respect for Tommy! Great novel and I've enjoyed every opportunity to see him interviewed or in conversation via RUclips or Podcasts.
