The public is invited for a reception with author Tommy Orange, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. His latest novel Wandering Stars (2024), now in Dutch translation, is his highly anticipated second book, longlisted for the Booker prize. It continues the story of the Star family, who were introduced in his first novel There There (2018), which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction.
The reception will include a short reading and remarks by the author.
