There are only a few books that I can say really changed how I thought about an issue and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers’ 2018 book The Overstory – about trees and their unique relationship to us and our environment – was one of them. Powers’ new book, Playground, moves focus to the oceans by following four intertwining stories that look at our shared humanity and relationship to the waters that connect us. He will be in conversation with fellow novelist Steph Cha at Live Talks.
