Beskrivning
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 changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it.... It changed how I see things and that’s always, for me, a mark of a book worth reading."

  1. 5/5 Henrik M

    Bara att buga i vördnad för den här prestationen, att skildra människor som befinner sig både i samhället och naturen (bland träden; alltså), vilket vi ju alla gör fastän vi ofta förbiser den senare eller reducerar den till rekreationsområde.

    Språket är tätt som bokskogens lövverk och handlingen är episk, eller snarare 'big history'!
