New York Times Best Seller

Tommy Orange's "groundbreaking, extraordinary" (The New York Times) There There is the "brilliant, propulsive" (People Magazine) story of 12 unforgettable characters, Urban Indians living in Oakland, California, who converge and collide on one fateful day. It's "the year's most galvanizing debut novel" (Entertainment Weekly).

As we learn the reasons that each person is attending the Big Oakland Powwow - some generous, some fearful, some joyful, some violent - momentum builds toward a shocking yet inevitable conclusion that changes everything. Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion, and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice, and heroism, and loss. 

There There is a wondrous and shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen. It's "masterful...white-hot...devastating" (The Washington Post) at the same time as it is fierce, funny, suspenseful, thoroughly modern, and impossible to pause. Here is a voice we have never heard - a voice full of poetry and rage, exploding onto the page with urgency and force. Tommy Orange has written a stunning novel that grapples with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and profound spirituality, and with a plague of addiction, abuse, and suicide. This is the book that everyone is talking about right now, and it's destined to be a classic.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Masterful. White-hot. A devastating debut novel." (Ron Charles, The Washington Post)

"A gripping deep dive into urban indigenous community in California: an astonishing literary debut!" (Margaret Atwood, via Twitter)

"Visceral... A chronicle of domestic violence, alcoholism, addiction, and pain, the book reveals the perseverance and spirit of the characters... Unflinching candor... Highly recommended." (Library Journal)

A Stunner!

Tommy Orange, how can this be your first book? This is an absolutely incredible debut novel. It couldn’t have come at a better time. This book needs to be read by everyone. Powerful, heartbreaking, and absolutely necessary because we cannot forget about the Native American/Canadian population who have been ripped from their lands, robbed of their culture and heritage and forced to live in ugly urban settings. They have to fight for what is rightfully theirs. Tommy Orange tells this story from 12 different voices in the most poetic, honest and brilliant way. This is one of my favourite books this year.

Half baked slice of trashy sub culture.

I wanted to switch it off, but I was curious to see if I could discover something new. I found the bitter remains of a conquered era. Through explicit depictions I understood that natives feel like immigrants even though they believe it is "their" land. It seems integration would be best, but they would lose whatever heritage they have left.
Judging this book raises questions nobody is asking and I inadvertently think of the debate surrounding the issue. As a cultural problem, it is world class, as a book, I'd skip it.

Well done Tommy Orange. Amazingly written piece that educates on the widespread effects of intergenerational trauma within the American native population. A must read/listen.

'Pretty good'

I enjoyed parts of this novel. This book is told from numerous perspectives which, in my opinion, made it difficult to really invest in any of the characters. Additionally, the entire book felt like it was leading up to something momentous but it didn't seem to really get there.
