Skylarking Book Club: Wandering Stars

  • The District 11 South 10th Street Columbia, MO, 65201 United States (map)

Tommy Orange became a literary sensation when his debut novel, There, There, was published in 2018. A Pulitzer Prize finalist and national best seller, the book was lauded by readers everywhere, and people have been waiting for his follow-up with eager anticipation.

Safe to say, Wandering Stars does not disappoint. Orange is a born storyteller, and the tales he has to tell in this book will stay with you for a very long time. It is a difficult, beautiful book. Anyone who enjoyed our discussion of Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song a couple of months ago will find much to be engaged with here.

Morgan Talty, author of Night of the Living Rez, said about it: “For the sake of knowing, of understanding, Wandering Stars blew my heart into a thousand pieces and put it all back together again. This is a masterwork that will not be forgotten, a masterwork that will forever be part of you.”
