Moni & Kat review "There There" by Tommy Orange
Episode 258
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
This week, the hosts explore There There by Tommy Orange. The book intertwines the stories of twelve urban Native characters in Oakland, California. It’s a powerful, character-driven novel weaving together lives that at first seem separate, but gradually reveal deep and unexpected connections, all leading to a pivotal and gut wrenching event. As the narrative unfolds, the book explores the lasting impact of generational trauma, cultural erasure, and the search for connection in a modern world. Did the ladies keep every detail perfectly straight? Not quite...but did that stop them? Not even a little. The discussion, much like the book, is layered, complex, and and a lot to juggle all at once. Tune in to hear how it all comes together, Cheers! *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.
