Wandering Stars
by Tommy Orange
The eagerly awaited follow-up to Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tommy Orange’s breakout bestseller There There — Wandering Stars traces the legacies of the
Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School through to the shattering aftermath of Orvil Red Feather’s shooting in ThereThere. Extending his constellation of narratives into the past and future,Tommy Orange once again delivers a story that is by turns shattering and wondrous, a book piercing in its poetry, sorrow, and rage.
