Gonzaga Visiting Writer Series: Tommy Orange

February 4, 2020

Tommy Orange’s debut book, the Pulitzer-nominated novel “There, There” follows twelve characters from Native American communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to each other in ways they may not realize. 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.
