Tommy Orange wrote There There, a literary novel that won the PEN/Hemingway award. In this book a series of 12 characters living in the Oakland, California area tell their story. At first I couldn't tell how the stories were connected but eventually I came to realize that each character was Native American and planned to attend a pow wow in Oakland. Some of the characters were related although they didn't all realize it yet. Each story is powerful and each person views the city of Oakland in a different light. I liked this book. I have never read anything quite like it before.
