Free copies of and events for 2023 One Maryland One Book, "There There"
What if we all read the same book at the same time to discuss it? In that spirit, Maryland Humanities created One Maryland One Book (OMOB) ;to bring together diverse people in communities across the state through the shared experience of reading the same book, including here at Salisbury University.
This year’s book, There There by Tommy Orange tells the interconnected stories of a cast of twelve Native characters from across generational lines, as they converge toward the Big Oakland Powwow. Together, the stories give a riveting portrait of the urban Indian experience. There There was one of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year, and won the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, as well as the PEN/Hemingway Award.
The SU Fulton School of Liberal Arts is distributing 280 free copies of the book.
