Win a Book Wednesday: “There There”

Published: May 8, 2018

Win a Copy of "There There" by Tommy Orange

About "There There: a Novel"

"There There" dips into the lives of various Native Americans living in Oakland, CA. It reads like a collection of very interconnected short stories about each of these characters. Tenses change (first person, third person, and even second person), we step back in time for key events, and everything leads inexorably to everyone converging at the Big Oakland Powwow.

Pick up this excellent debut if you are in the mood for a sprawling cast of characters, great writing, and some unforgettable stories.

Reviewed for you by Michelle M., Materials Management librarian. Publication date: June 5.

Want to Win this Book?

  • Leave a comment below on Wednesday, May 9, and include the name of the last book you picked up because the cover caught your eye.
  • Everyone who leaves a comment here, on Facebook, Twitter OR Instagram will be entered into a random drawing (Library employees are not eligible). Please only enter in one place.
  • The winner will be contacted by email on Thursday morning, May 10.
  • The winner can pick up their prize at the Library location of their choice.

Win a Book Wednesdays will take place twice a month. Prize books are Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) of books that will be added to the Library collection within the next month, and can already be found in the Library catalog as "on order."

ARCs are uncorrected proofs given to the Library for review purposes only, and are not for sale.

    I was drawn to the cover of The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer. Those colorful stripes! Luckily the book is as good as the cover!

    Picked up the Lilac Girls because I watched the movie and thought the book would be much more descriptive about the story line.
