um, story about experience and identity.
And one, I feel like I've learned so much, and I also just loved how it was just such a pacey read.
There was always something happening.
It had me on the edge of my seat.
I guess we should kind of start with the beginning of the novel, which is the prologue, where you kind of take us through this kind of great sweep of history, which is effectively 400 years of atrocities and slurs against Native American people.
Why did you feel like you had to do this real history before you could begin to tell the fictional story?
Okay, let's get into the story.
First of all, I found it really interesting that there was not one central character that the novel gravitates around.
Rather, it's kind of a central event, and that's the big Oakland powwow, which, as I'm reading it, I soon then understand that the 12 characters kind of converge together.
And I think it's just such a brilliant construct, because while the powwow is so iconic...
You know, lots of people are also quite ignorant about it.
In fact, there's one of the younger characters has to go to powwows.com to find out, you know, what takes place there.
So tell me if I was to go to a real powwow in Oakland today, what should I expect?
I'm guessing you've been to a few places.
I thought setting the action around the powwow was just so clever because as the tension builds and builds, as you get closer to the event, you're getting more, you know, riled up to find out what's going to happen.
And I guess each of these characters is heading to this one place.
And they all want something different from it.
Did you know from the beginning that you were going to tell it in this way?
Well, it worked.
I was hooked all the way through.
