A Radical Reimagining of the Novel with Richard Powers and Forrest Gander

In this vibrant conversation, poet and author Forrest Gander
interviews Richard Powers about his acclaimed new novel The
Overstory. Recorded during a live event co-presented by Emergence
Magazine and Point Reyes Books, the two Pulitzer Prize-winning
authors reflect on continuity, kinship, and proximity with the
living world. Advocating a radical reimagining of the novel that
moves away from the centering of human characters, Powers speaks of
a new ethic that includes an understanding that there is no
separate thing called us and no other separate thing called
wilderness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
