Not-Just-Fiction Book Club: There, There

Current Selection: There, There by Tommy Orange

Anyone is welcome to drop in to the book group at any time as the mood and book sway you. We have an eclectic group and we believe the more opinions the better. The books are chosen by consensus. Everyone is invited to make a suggestion or two and then the group votes. 

Meetings are the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm at Bear Pond Books.

Drop-ins are welcome!

The book club's picks are displayed in the store at a 15% discount.

About the Book

"How often do we hear the story of the urban Native American experience? Tales of Native Americans off the reservation are not common in literature today. Luckily, Tommy Orange has stepped into the void with this powerful new story about a wide cast of characters in the Oakland area from a variety of places and for a variety of reasons. A memorable collection of Native Americans live their stories of disaffection, yearning, and pride as the characters move toward the shared experience of the Big Oakland Powwow, each with their own motivations. Orange's writing is deep, poetic, and brutally honest; I was instantly drawn into the world of this unfamiliar subculture and its personalities and narratives." — Claire
