Thank you Tommy!

 The world needs Tommy Orange right now!

Most of the books I read are all the same voice; different plots and settings but the same voice: straight, White, male/female who are well above the poverty line.  

Then I read this book and it was like sunlight through the clouds. The voice of the urban, Native American is not one I have encountered.  It was original, raw, honest, and at times spiritual.  The loss Native Americans have experienced at the hands of colonizers is epic. Mr. Orange does a phenomenal job conveying the loss and longing of Urban Native Americans.  The loss of identity, land, names; and the current struggle to find their place in modern day America.
