November is National Native American Heritage Month. Join Let's Talk Books to discuss There, There by Tommy Orange.

This debut novel by Tommy Orange brings twelve people into contact at a Powwow gathering in Oakland, CA. Through the characters, who've come for healing, renewal, community and for more sinister intentions, Orange illuminates the experiences and realities of urban Native American life. 

Let's Talk Books is a monthly book discussion club at the Barrett Branch Library. Call 703-746-1721 for more information.
