Fry bread is food. It is warm and delicious, piled high on a plate.

Fry bread is time. It brings families together for meals and new memories.

Fry bread is nation. It is shared by many, from coast to coast and beyond.

Fry bread is us. It is a celebration of old and new, traditional and modern, similarity and difference.

There There || Tommy Orange || 294 pages Top 3 Genres: Contemporary / Adult / Indigenous

Synopsis: Tommy Orange's wondrous and shattering novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize.

Among them is Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind. Dene Oxendene, pulling his life together after his uncle's death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. Together, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American--grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism.

An interesting commission from this month- I’ve read the Chabon book and did Pilgrim’s Progress in school, but unfamiliar with the rest! Fun to draw these.

16.11.2024. I finished Homer's The Odyssey last year just before I got hit with the worst case of reading slump. But since I can finally read again, I'm thinking of doing epics for next year and making a project of it. I have a tentative list of options, with The Iliad on top. I'll probably have to map out a proper schedule and see how many I can squeeze in between other commitments! It's fun planning though. I'm excited! 🥰
