From the author of There There, Orange delivers a sweeping multigenerational saga of Native American life. Wandering Stars threads stories of addiction, displacement, resilience and cultural survival. His nonlinear structure and multiple perspectives create a mosaic of identity and memory. The prose is lyrical and grounded, moving between pain and joy with nuance. Orange explores what it means to belong, to lose, and to carry forward ancestral legacies. It's a powerful, expansive narrative that stakes claim to silenced histories.
