Join Clark’s University Librarian Laura Robinson, as well as alumni, in a conversation about the book “There There” by Tommy Orange. The book — a national bestseller and Pulitzer Prize finalist — follows twelve characters from Native communities who are traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow and are connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize.
“Tommy Orange’s wondrous and shattering 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. … Together, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American — grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism.” — Goodreads
