𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼 & 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 ⟶ bit.ly/45DBRpxRichard Powers is without a doubt one of today’s most important American novelists. He wrote contemporary classics like The Time of Our Singing and The Overstory, won a Pulitzer Prize and was twice shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
In his novels, Powers draws from disciplines as diverse as neuroscience, astronomy, evolutionary biology and literary studies to reflect on the biggest questions facing contemporary society. Much of his work explores today’s ecological crisis and the connection between humanity, technology, and the natural world – all through deeply human characters and poetic prose which create an immersive and thought-provoking literary experience.
Powers will present his new novel Playground (released October 3rd) which takes you along a deep exploration of our shared humanity set in the world’s largest ocean. He will be interviewed by Annelies Beck.
