\"Corinne<\/a>We asked Professor and Chair of Comparative Literature\u00a0 Corinne Scheiner \u201cWhat\u2019s On Your Reading List?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI just finished rereading Tommy Orange\u2019s\u00a0\u2018There There,\u2019 which I first read when it was published in 2018. In the novel, we hear the stories of a wide range of characters, all of whom are heading to a Big Oakland Powwow. Through these characters, as well as through its prologue, the novel takes on stereotypes of Native identity, subverting these stereotypes by offering up each character\u2019s own story of their lived experiences. These stories are ones of shared struggle for, Orange says,\u00a0\u2018I wanted to have my characters struggle in the way that I struggled, and the way that I see other native people struggle, with identity and with authenticity.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cLately,\u00a0I\u00a0have been thinking a lot\u00a0about\u00a0identity and contemporary fiction, in particular the way(s) in which novels not only allow for representations of identity, but also provide spaces in which to deconstruct identities and\u00a0I have been exploring new-to-me voices,\u00a0which is how\u00a0\u2018There There\u2019\u00a0found its way\u00a0back\u00a0to my current reading list. If you\u2019ve not read it yet, I highly recommend adding it to yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
