Literary


Tommy Orange ( 2) Wandering Stars Vintage, 6th, £9.99, 9781529930344


Three generations of the Bear Shield and Red Feather families try to escape the institutional violence that follows their bloodlines. Stretching from the story of a survivor of the 1864 Sand Creek massacre to a mass shooting in present day Oakland, California, Orange’s second novel connects with his prismatic debut There, There, and is structurally ambitious with a sharp eye for character. Native American voices are still underrepresented in mainstream publishing so it is refreshing to see Orange soar. Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2024.
