CNY Reads One Book, an annual county-wide book event that runs from January through March each year, will be featuring “There, There” by Tommy Orange in 2020.
A multi-generational book that deals with many current and thought-provoking topics, here is what Goodreads says about “There, There”:
“Here is a voice we have never heard — a voice full of poetry and rage, exploding onto the page with stunning urgency and force. Tommy Orange writes of the urban Native American in a stunning novel that grapples with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and profound spirituality, and with a plague of addiction, abuse, and suicide. It is an unforgettable debut, destined to become required reading in schools and universities across the country.”
In January, Baldwinsville Public Library will host two events:
