Nine wanderers range across cultures, history, science, landscapes, artificial intelligence, ecology, love, and especially TREES, arriving independently at a redwood forest. It is a sweeping narrative filled with poetic language and awe. Their stories are absorbing, and the arboreal themes skilfully woven. This is not a book to be gulped down - you chew each paragraph and savour. You will never see a TREE in the same way again. My vote for America's best writer today.
