Awards and Acknowledgments: Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
Book Summary: The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a collection of stories about nine people whose lives intersect in unexpected and fascinating ways. This creates a tapestry much larger than their individual lives. These intersections mirror the startling arboreal science woven throughout this masterful novel.
The LACPA member who recommended this novel wrote “The understory – a tale of trees, tree huggers, loggers and conflict. The overstory – a deep spiritual interconnectedness of all living things. You’ll love it.”
According to an editorial description from Amazon “There is a world alongside ours―vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.”
