The John Adams Institute is honored to welcome Native American novelist Tommy Orange back to Amsterdam for his highly anticipated second book, 'Wandering Stars'. Orange broke onto the American literary scene with his award-winning novel There There in 2018, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. In addition to continuing his literary career, he has become a teacher at the Institute of American Indian Arts.
'Wandering Stars' is a hard read. Orange tells the story of the fictional Star family through the ages, providing an aerial view of the most important moments of Native American history. The subject matter, though dramatized, is confronting. Through a series of snapshots, we get to know the Star’s, their history and their ancestors.
