The writers sent pages back and forth as they worked on the novels, and according to Orange , “They’re totally different books because of each other.

Kaveh Akbar and Tommy Orange have collaborated on a book called "Band on the Run" Orange and Akbar are touring the U.S. and Europe .

The two authors will see their respective favorite teams face off: the Milwaukee Bucks (Akbar) versus the Golden State Warriors (Orange ).

Orange and Akbar write about language and the love of language that drives them to writing.

Orange says the repression of art and culture has happened in the U.S. before, to the Native American peoples.

“You don't need paints or clay or a kiln to make language art. You just need a functional mind,” says Orange.
