Future Library book club: There There by Tommy Orange

Future Library is a 100-year public artwork located in Oslo. Each year from 2014 to 2114 an author writes a manuscript that is handed over annually and kept secret until the final 100th year.

The eleventh author was Tommy Orange. We have previously discussed his book Wandering Stars for our book club, but as he will be handing over his manuscript in June 2026 we are returning to his work this year.

As a group we will talk about There There, and there will also be a short presentation and Q and A with Anne Beate Hovind, Chair of Future Library Trust.

Previous books read include Greek Lessons by Han Kang, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World by Elif Shafak, Moonstone by Sjon, Black Swan Green by David Mitchell, Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange, and The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood.
