There Are No Individuals in The Overstory, No Separable Events
Richard Power's novel, The Overstory, is a complex, spreading network of roots and branches. The characters interact, are invented, relate and yet seem not to realize their influence.
Galatea 2.2, Richard Powers
There were times when I loved reading this novel and there were sections I struggled to get through. Ultimately, it's a smart novel about love and memory, but it feels bogged down by its obsolete technology.
