Study Guide: The Overstory by Richard Powers (SuperSummary), The Nickel Boys (Winner 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction): A Novel, “Should be mandatory reading the world over.”. It’s one of a handful of books of which I can say I was a different person when I finished it. It is Powers's twelfth novel. The Overstory is one of the books written by Richards Powers which address the issue of cutting down of trees and forests and has earned the deserved nomination for Man Booker Prize.

This glorious novel keeps the readers on edge with its classy turns and unexpected twists. So are the extra-human elements, thanks to the extraordinary imaginative flights of Powers’s prose, which persuades you on the very first page that you’re hearing the voices of trees as they chide our species.”, “A rousing, full-throated hymn to Nature’s grandeur.”.
So I was already a convert to the novel's premise and I was excited by the revelations contained in those initial chapters. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. I was totally entranced. I understand the author forgoing a positive resolution to his story when such a resolution would push the boundaries of reality in this crass commercial world we inhabit but to take a third of the book to beat his protagonists and his ideas into submission came across for me as overkill. A wise, deep, moving epic by an exceptional writer. Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel.
Please try again. I wanted very much to love this book. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Please try again. Surely, I thought, a novel based upon such exciting scientific discoveries deserved a better finish, a suggestion, perhaps, that it might not be too late, even if the odds are depressingly high that it is too late.
The themes are different of course—-Powers is not interested in discussing God or the basis of morality—but one does get the sense in reading the Overstory that the plot, characters and various literary devices are all at the service of the author’s philosophical vision. The middle allowed all the characters to develop the “tree theme” and that, too, was well done.
