Thank you! I haven’t read her in awhile, but (and I could be completely wrong) I feel as if Orange hit much harder at the role our government played in where Native Americans are now. The closest I can come to him is another new writer, Terese Marie Mailhot. Her memoir Heart Berries is an emotional punch and her style even more unusual.

This is going on my must-read list. I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about it. I’m glad that there are more Native American voices in literature, and I hope there will be more. Louise Erdrich is the main one that comes to mind, and the only one that I can think of that I’ve read.
