"The Overstory" is a profound journey into the secret life of trees and the symbiotic tales of nine individuals who are drawn together by a seminal event that urges them to stand for the last of America's virgin forests. A veteran shot down in Vietnam and saved by the boughs of a banyan, an artist bequeathed with a legacy of doomed chestnut photographs, a collegiate party-goer reborn by ethereal entities after a fatal shock, and a scientist muted by disability, who unveils the silent conversations of trees—these characters and more are woven into a rich tapestry of interlacing narratives that speak to the conflict between human advancement and the more-than-human world. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, authored by National Book Award winner Richard Powers, "The Overstory" pulls readers into a compelling exploration of nature, activism, and the threadbare veil that separates humanity from the ecological entanglements that sustain it.
