“The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period.” —Ann Patchett

The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel 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. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. 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.

    It says: A good answer must be reinvented many times, from scratch.
  • Frida Arroyo Chiuciteerde uit2 jaar geleden
    That’s the trouble with people, their root problem. Life runs alongside them, unseen. Right here, right next. Creating the soil. Cycling water. Trading in nutrients. Making weather. Building atmosphere. Feeding and curing and sheltering more kinds of creatures than people know how to count.

    A chorus of living wood sings to the woman: If your mind were only a slightly greener thing, we’d drown you in meaning.

    The pine she leans against says: Listen. There’s something you need to hear.

    The tree is saying things, in words before words.
