New book from the author of There, There follows stories of trauma and tragedy

Author Tommy Orange reads from his new book, Wandering Stars, with a group of high school students in the Bronx. Photograph: Hiroko Masuike/The New York Times, will eagerly anticipate this new book. But how does an artist follow up on an almost perfect, near genius debut? Pretty brilliantly, as it turns out.

Wandering Stars begins with the Sand Creek massacre of 1864, where 600 Cheyenne and Arapaho were slaughtered by the US army, among them Bird Woman and Jude Star, two of the main protagonist’s tribal ancestors. Through subsequent generations of their family, we learn how US administrations went from the massacre of tribes to more devious genocidal policies, such as the establishment of sadistic Indian industrial schools in the 20th century.
