This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe. There is a world alongside ours - vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. Richard Powers won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for 'The Overstory,' which the Pulitzer Board described as 'an ingeniously structured narrative that branches and canopies like the trees at the core of the story whose wonder and connectivity echo those of the humans living amongst them.'. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. National Book Award winner Richard Powers’s twelfth novel is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of - and paean to - the natural world. If epic fiction is your thing, you will love The Overstory by Richard Powers.
