            inspired by the myth of Orpheus in which composer Peter Els must transform a disastrous collision with the
            security state into an unforgettable work of art. A sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance
            that won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and serves as a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural
            world. A heartrending novel with soaring descriptions of the natural world, a tantalizing vision of life
            beyond, and a moving account of a father and son’s ferocious love. A magisterial new novel—set in the
            world’s largest ocean—that interweaves profound themes of technology and the environment with a deep
            exploration of our shared humanity. What Readers are Saying "Bravo, Richard Powers, for hitting so many
            high notes with Orfeo and contributing to the fraction of books that really matter." —Heller McAlpin, NPR
            "It changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it...It changed how I see things and that’s always,
            for me, a mark of a book worth reading." —Barack Obama "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."
            —Oprah Winfrey "Is there anything Richard Powers cannot write? The world here is complete, seductive,
            and promising. The writing feels like the ocean. Vast, mysterious, deep, and alive." —Percival Everett
