WOW this book is great - in my opinion, it really cements Tommy Orange as one of the best American writers to come out of the last few years. It is epic and intimate all at once, and so skillfully done. Orange pulls off the difficult task of making each section of a multi-pronged story equally compelling - I was gripped by the stories of Star, Charles, Opal, Orvil, and Lonny, without ever wishing to go back to a previous main character. His writing is so tactile and just a pleasure to read - I will be shocked if this isn’t nominated for the National Book Award next year.
