Description

Tommy Orange gibt mit seinem vielbesprochenen Bestseller "Dort dort" Native Americans eine Stimme. "Eine neue Art amerikanisches Epos." (New York Times)

Jacquie ist endlich nüchtern und will zu der Familie zurückkehren, die sie vor vielen Jahren verlassen hat. Dene sammelt mit einer alten Kamera Geschichten indianischen Lebens. Und Orvil will zum ersten Mal den Tanz der Vorfahren tanzen. Ihre Leben sind miteinander verwoben, und sie sind zum großen Powwow in Oakland gekommen, um ihre Traditionen zu feiern. Doch auch Tony ist dort, und Tony ist mit dunklen Absichten gekommen. "Dort dort" ist ein bahnbrechender Roman, der die Geschichte der Native Americans neu erzählt und ein Netz aufwühlend realer Figuren aufspannt, die alle an einem schicksalhaften Tag aufeinandertreffen. Man liest ihn gebannt von seiner Wucht und seiner Schönheit, bis hin zum unerbittlichen Finale.
Discover Tommy Orange's searing debut novel, following a multi-generational cast of characters as they gather for the Big Oakland Powwow.

'Pure soaring beauty' Colm Tóibín

Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and hoping to reconnect with her estranged family. That's why she is there. Dene is there because he has been collecting stories to honour his uncle's death, while Edwin is looking for his true father and Opal came to watch her boy Orvil dance.

All of them are connected by bonds they may not yet understand. All of them are here for the celebration that is the Big Oakland Powwow. But Tony Loneman is also there.
And Tony has come to the Powow with darker intentions.
