from the roots to the crown and back to the seeds

The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from New York to the late twentieth century timber wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, exploring the essential conflict on this planet: the one taking place between humans and nonhumans.
