In There, There, the author weaves a collection of stories about fictional Native Americans who live primarily in Oakland into a novel. Each character illustrates various issues that urban Native Americans might face--substance abuse, broken families, joblessness, etc. At first, I thought the book was very much like a Sherman Alexie book, but as I read farther into the book, I realized that was not so. Although some of the themes are similar, Tommy Orange has his own voice. As a group, women also play a larger role than they do in many Alexie books. The last portion of the book, as it comes to its climax, is incredibly intense.
