Présentation
Tommy Orange's Wandering Stars reaches back to the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre and the Indian boarding schools, then forward to the Oakland family at the heart of his acclaimed debut There There. Across generations, it follows survival, addiction, art and the long inheritance of historical violence among urban Native Americans. Both a prequel and a sequel, the novel widens Orange's portrait of dispossession and endurance with the same propulsive, polyphonic energy that made his first book a phenomenon. Praised as one of 2024's essential literary novels, Wandering Stars is a moving meditation on memory, addiction and what is passed down. Devastating and tender in equal measure.
