May Book Selection: The Overstory by Richard Powers
Discussion: Wednesday, May 19 at 6:30
Overstory won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Barbara Kingsolver refers to Overstory as a " monumental novel " in which "The heroes are centuries old and 300 feet tall. Powers accomplishes what few living writers from either camp, art or science, could attempt. Using the tools of story, he pulls readers heart-first into a perspective so much longer-lived and more subtly developed than the human purview that we gain glimpses of a vast, primordial sensibility, while watching our own kind get whittled down to size."
