Reviews
[P]oignant...Bewilderment is a cri de coeur....this is a hauntingly intimate story set within the privacy of one family trapped in the penumbra of mourning., You could think of it as 'The Innerstory': It is about how and whether we see the world we inhabit.... It is enchanting, and it is devastating., Powers [has] an emotional core to everything he writes, and this sets him apart from nearly everyone., Remarkable....Bewilderment channels both the cosmic sublime and that of the vast American outdoors, resting confidently in a lineage with Thoreau and Whitman, Dillard and Kerouac., [A]stounding....a must-read novel....It's urgent and profound and takes readers on a unique journey that will leave them questioning what we're doing to the only planet we have., The tenderness between father and son seem[s] so real and heartfelt that the novel becomes its own empathy machine. What's more powerful, though, is how the emotions Bewilderment evokes expand far beyond the bond of father and son to embrace the living world., Richard Powers is one of our country's greatest living writers. He composes some of the most beautiful sentences I've ever read. I'm in awe of his talent., In Bewilderment, [Powers's] mastery strikes a new vein....it raises goosebumps and breaks our hearts., A heartrending tale of loss....Powers continues to raise bold questions about the state of our world and the cumulative effects of our mistakes., A moving depiction of filial love, as father and son confront a world of 'invisible suffering on unimaginable scales., Bewilderment is a big book about what matters most....a brilliant, engrossing, and ultimately heartbreaking book., Extraordinary....Powers's insightful, often poetic prose draws us at once more deeply toward the infinitude of the imagination and more vigorously toward the urgencies of the real and familiar stakes rattling our persons and our planet., One of America's most ambitious and imaginative novelists.... In a year of unprecedented worldwide drought, fire, and flooding, [Bewilderment] couldn't be timelier.... Whether concerning family or nature, this heart-rending tale warns us to take nothing for granted., Intimate....Powers is an essential member of the pantheon of writers who are using fiction to address climate change., Immersive and astonishing....Powers captures the tragedy of a species that could, but perhaps won't, become a lasting part of a cosmic menagerie. But in this absorbing and effortlessly readable tale he seems to have also found uplifting poetry in our despair., As in The Overstory, Powers seamlessly yet indelibly melds science and humanity, hope and despair., Powers succeeds in engaging both head and heart. And through its central story of bereavement, this novel of parenting and the environment becomes a multifaceted exploration of mortality.

Synopsis
A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory., AN OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION An Instant New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book of 2021 Shortlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize and Longlisted for the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction A Best Book/Best Novel of 2021 at NPR, Newsweek, The Boston Globe, Audible, Goodreads, Christian Science Monitor, Library Journal, Garden & Gun Magazine, and many more A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory., The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He's also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs. He learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment to bolster Robin's emotional control, one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother's brain... With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of life beyond, and its account of a father and son's ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers's most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?
