"This is Tommy Orange. Remember his name. His book's gonna blow the roof off." --Pam Houston "Tommy Orange, a young Native American from Oakland, California, has more raw talent than any young writer I've come across in a long, long time. Maybe ever." --Claire Vaye Watkins, "Bravura... There There has so much jangling energy and brings so much news from a distinct corner of American life that it's a revelation... its appearance marks the passing of a generational baton." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times "A rush of intensity and fervor... Bursting with talent and big ideas... Funny and profane and conscious of the violence that runs like a scar through American culture." --Jeff Baker, The Seattle Times "A new kind of American epic... one that reflects his ambivalence and the complexity of [Orange's] upbringing." --Alexandra Alter, The New York Times "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 "Welcome to a brilliant and generous artist who has already enlarged the landscape of American Fiction. THERE THERE is a comic vision haunted by profound sadness. Tommy Orange is a new writer with an old heart." --Louise Erdrich "THERE THERE drops on us like a thunderclap; the big, booming, explosive sound of 21st century literature finally announcing itself. Essential." --Marlon James, author of A Brief History of Seven Killings " There There is a miraculous achievement, a book that wields ferocious honesty and originality in service of telling a story that needs to be told. This is a novel about what it means to inhabit a land both yours and stolen from you, to simultaneously contend with the weight of belonging and unbelonging. There is an organic power to this book - a revelatory, controlled chaos. Tommy Orange writes the way a storm makes landfall." --Omar El Akkad, author of American War " There There is an urgent, invigorating, absolutely vital book by a novelist with more raw virtuosic talent than any young writer I've come across in a long, long time. Maybe ever. Tommy Orange is a stylist with substance, a showboater with a deeply moral compass. I want to call him heir to Gertrude Stein by way of George Saunders, but he is even more original than that. This book will make your heart swell." --Claire Vaye Watkins "This is Tommy Orange. Remember his name. His book's gonna blow the roof off." --Pam Houston "A symphonic debut...Engrossing... There There introduces an exciting voice." -- Booklist (starred review) "Commanding...The propulsion of both the overall narrative and its players are breathtaking as Orange unpacks how decisions of the past mold the present, resulting in a haunting and gripping story." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "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 (starred review) "Kaleidoscopic... In this vivid and moving book, Orange articulates the challenges and complexities not only of Native Americans, but also of America itself." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "Bravura... There There has so much jangling energy and brings so much news from a distinct corner of American life that it's a revelation... its appearance marks the passing of a generational baton." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times "Sweeping and subtle...pure soaring beauty." --Colm Toibin, The New York Times "A rush of intensity and fervor...

Remember his name. His book's gonna blow the roof off." --Pam Houston, "When Tommy Orange first sent me a chapter of his novel, There There , I read it and marveled. I then read it aloud to my wife. And then I emailed and called my closest writer friends. I said, 'It's here. That book I've been waiting for. It has arrived.' Tommy Orange has indeed arrived. And his debut novel is a beautiful, dangerous, sad, poetic, and hilarious revelation. Set in Oakland, California, There There is truly the first book to capture what it means to be an urban Indian--perhaps the first novel ever to celebrate and honor and elevate the joys and losses of urban Indians. You might think I'm exaggerating but this book is so revolutionary--evolutionary--that Native American literature will never be the same." --Sherman Alexie " There, There is an urgent, invigorating, absolutely vital book by a novelist with more raw virtuosic talent than any young writer I've come across in a long, long time.

  • Exceptional novel of Native American Life in cities today.

    Native American life off the reservation in cities. Told through short biogrphay chapters of a wide variety of men and women. Frank, honest and well written. A good read

  • Portraits of a life

    The book is arranged as a series of vignettes; each provides an aspect of the story. The portraits are well crafted and the narrative is compelling. It is a bit difficult to place each character as the novel progresses. I wish there had been a list of characters and their relationships.

    It calls to you, from every page, to continue reading. Who am I to argue with prose that already knows its own value. READ IT.
