Tommy Orange: There, There / suom. Ei enää mitään (2018)
Tommy Orange has written a beautiful yet tragic story about the loss and rediscovery of one’s identity and self-worth. Orange’s debut novel There, There was published in 2018 and it has received multiple literary awards in the United States and been translated into dozens of languages. The book tells the story of twelve urban Native Americans who are preparing for a community powwow (a social gathering) in Oakland, California. Mixed in with the fiction are essay-like parts that explain to the reader the misjustices that Native Americans have been subjected to on their own land for centuries. Deeply moving, historically fascinating, and at times disturbing, this novel is a must-read not only for its message and themes, but also for its astonishing literary merit.
