Description
Tommy Orange's debut novel is a powerful exploration of contemporary America, told from a bold new Native American voice. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Big Oakland Powwow, the story follows a diverse cast of characters as they navigate the complexities of family, identity, and community.
Jacquie Red Feather, Dene, Edwin, Opal, and Tony Loneman are all connected by threads they may not yet understand, each with their own reasons for attending the celebration. As the powwow unfolds, their paths intersect in unexpected ways, revealing the darker intentions that can simmer beneath the surface of even the most joyful gatherings.
This exhilarating and polyphonic novel is a stunning debut that creates beauty out of tragedy, shaking and shimmering with energy. With its lyrical prose and bold characters, Orange's novel is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to experience the best of contemporary American literature.
