Hello,

We have 18 new and notable books this week, including two books by Native American authors.  The first, Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange, expands on the themes of his first novel, There There, as Publishers Weekly reviews: "A stirring portrait of the fractured but resilient Bear Shield-Red Feather family in the wake of the Oakland powwow shooting that closed out the previous book ... With incandescent prose and precise insights, Orange mines the gaps in his characters' memories and finds meaning in the stories of their lives. This devastating narrative confirms Orange's essential place in the canon of Native American literature."

The second, Whiskey Tender by Deborah Taffa, is a debut memoir which Kirkus calls "a testament to the power of and need for intergenerational storytelling and a reminder that neither the history, identity, nor future of Native Americans is a monolith. She succeeds in creating a memorable celebration of 'our survival as a culture, as well as the hope, strength, and grace of my family.' A searching and perceptive Native memoir."

You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section. For more soon to publish books, check out BookBrowse's "What's New" section.
