Tommy Orange is the latest contributor to the Future Library project, which stores manuscripts until 2114, creating an anthology of secret works printed on trees planted by artist Katie Paterson.
Orange's writing focuses on identity, belonging, and intergenerational trauma, particularly in the context of Indigenous experiences, destined to resonate with readers of the 22nd century.
Orange expressed gratitude and hope in being part of the Future Library project, emphasizing the importance of cultivating hope for the longevity of the human project and the preservation of books.
The Future Library project, initiated by Katie Paterson in 2014, involves planting trees whose paper will be used for printing the anthology in 2114, ensuring a unique form of literary preservation.
