The Pulitzer Prize is the highest award one can achieve for literature and journalism. It’s like Mount Everest: many stare at it in wonder, few try to climb it, and even fewer manage to conquer it. So, it tends to turn heads when someone’s debut novel earns a 2019 nomination for the award, like Tommy Orange’s seminal There There did. This year, Orange is back with a sequel to his breakout bestseller, Wandering Stars, and he’ll be discussing it with poet Kaveh Akbar, whose Martyr! was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2024.
