Broadway Books Fall Book Club Event
September 15, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeJoin us for our Fall Book Club Discussion! This quarter we will be discussing The Overstory, by Richard Powers, published by W.W. Norton & Company.
The Overstory, The twelfth novel from National Book Award winner Richard Powers, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction this year and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and named a New York Times notable Book for 2018. It’s described by our favorite bookseller, Ann Patchett, as “The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period.”
The Overstory is a book for all readers who despair of humanity’s self-imposed separation from the rest of creation and who hope for the transformative, regenerating possibility of a homecoming. If the trees of this earth could speak, what would they tell us?
The event is free; we just ask that you RSVP either at the store or to events@broadwaybooks.net so we set up enough chairs.
You can purchase a paperback copy of The Overstory at Broadway Books at 20% until September 15th.
