Tommy Orange is the author of the bestselling There There, a thrilling multi-generational story about a side of America few of us have ever seen: the lives of urban Native Americans. Orange, a citizen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for There There and is longlisted for the Booker Prize for his latest novel, Wandering Stars. He shows us violence and recovery, hope and loss, identity and power, dislocation and communion and the beauty and despair woven into the history of a nation and its people.
“Tommy Orange is building a body of literature that reshapes the Native American story in the United States. Book by book, he’s correcting the dearth of Indian stories even while depicting the tragic cost of that silence.” The Washington Post
