Not since Sherman Alexie and Louise Erdrich has such a powerful Native American voice emerged in contemporary fiction. Tommy Orange introduces a brilliant new author whose work resonates with urgency. The narrative unfolds around a powwow, where diverse characters converge for various reasons, their lives interwoven in a tapestry of shared experiences. Themes of death, memory, and identity permeate the story, as characters confront their pasts and the weight of their heritage. Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober, seeks to reconnect with her estranged family in Oakland. Dene Oxendene honors his late uncle by participating in the powwow. Edwin Frank searches for his biological father, while Bobby Big Medicine prepares for the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield attends to support her nephew Orvil, who has learned to dance through online videos and is set to perform publicly for the first time. Meanwhile, Tony Loneman harbors darker intentions that threaten to upend the lives of those around him. This groundbreaking debut is a fierce, funny, and poignant exploration of violence, recovery, hope, and loss, capturing the beauty and despair woven into the fabric of a nation and its people. It offers a profound, multi-generational portrait of modern Native American life, making it a remarkable addition to contemporary literature.
