IN STORES NOW • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A monumental novel about reimagining our place in the living world, by one of our most “prodigiously talented” (New York Times Book Review) novelists. The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
More about The Overstory “A masterpiece of operatic proportions.... A magnificent achievement.” —Kirkus (starred review)
“The Overstory is a visionary, accessible legend for the planet that owns us, its exaltation and its peril, a remarkable achievement by a great writer.” —Thomas McGuane
"An extraordinary novel…An astonishing performance…There is something exhilarating, too, in reading a novel whose context is wider than human life. The Overstory leaves you with a slightly adjusted frame of reference….What was happening to his characters passed into my conscience, like alcohol into the bloodstream, and left a feeling behind of grief or guilt, even after I put it down." —Benjamin Markovits, The Guardian
