Description
The Overstory A Novel by Richard Powers In a world where humans and nonhumans are increasingly at odds, a group of strangers are brought together by the natural world to fight for its survival. This sweeping novel explores the conflict between humans and the environment, delving into the interconnected lives of trees and the people who interact with them. From the antebellum streets of New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest, The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables, revealing a world alongside our own - vast, slow, and resourceful. The story of those who learn to see this world and are drawn into its unfolding catastrophe is one of hope and transformation, as they seek to find a way to live in harmony with the natural world. By listening to the trees, we may just hear what they have to say about our place in the world.
