I read (listened to on a long car trip) The Overstory a few years ago and liked it but didn't love it. I think Bewilderment was suggested because I loved Cloud Cuckoo Land, but now I'm suspecting it was just because part of that book had an environmental theme. So far this book is just alternately sappy and preachy. Not going to finish this one. ( ) I had no idea that this book would take me through the emotional rollercoaster it did. It’s definitely the kind of book you read and question parenting in general. At least that’s what I did. I felt for the dad. I felt for him and we were there with him while he was making decisions for his son. Every step of the way and ngl, I have a new found respect for parents. The fuck is parenting??? Heeh anyway! Robin, sweet sweet Robin. He was so misunderstood. By by his father sometimes and his teachers and the students in his class and (if I can exaggerate a smidge), by the entire freaking world. I felt for him. I felt his anger and his loss, and all the other confusing emotions an autistic 7 year old (i think that was his age) body could hold!! The ending! That was so sad! This was probably my favourite book of 2021. After my struggle with epic, but difficult and unpolished [b:The Overstory|40180098|The Overstory|Richard Powers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1562786502l/40180098._SY75_.jpg|57662223], I'm so glad I gave Powers another chance. The story follows an astrobiologist struggling to raise his son after the death of his wife. Giving away any more of the plot would take away from the joy of reading this, so I'll keep it there. Powers is again on a mission here, dealing with his usual topics (environment, climate change), but unlike in The Overstory, he seems to be a lot less moralizing and is more compassionate and focused on human relationships. The message is loud and clear as ever. This is a book everyone should read. Thoughts about "antiscience" in this novel: It often seems to me that drugs are too often prescribed to people who would not need them if our society was more functional and everyone had the support they needed. This is definitely not the same kind of anti-science the anti-vaxers would support. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

La vita del giovane astrobiologo Theodore Byrne ©· divisa tra due grandi amori. Il cosmo, che scandaglia in cerca di vita su pianeti lontani decine di anni luce, e il figlio Robin, che Theodore cresce da solo dopo la morte della moglie, un'attivista ambientale. Robin ha nove anni, ©· un bambino diverso anche se nessun medico ©· arrivato a una diagnosi risolutiva. Ha un animo sensibile, progetta di disegnare tutti gli animali in via d'estinzione ma a scuola ©· nei guai dopo aver aggredito un compagno. Theodore si rifiuta di tenere a bada con i farmaci le intemperanze di Robin, cos©Ơ si affida a una terapia emotiva sperimentale, che stimola il ragazzo con le registrazioni dell'attivit© cerebrale della madre. I risultati sono stupefacenti: Robin ritrova l'entusiasmo e inizia a sostenere in prima persona, incoraggiato da Theodore, la causa ambientalista, diventando una celebrit© fino a quando la politica mette in discussione la loro felicit© . Come possiamo spiegare ai nostri figli un mondo che vuole autodistruggersi? Il nuovo romanzo di Richard Powers ©· la storia del feroce amore di un padre e di un figlio, che lottano per salvare se stessi su un pianeta di cui, forse, abbiamo perso il controllo.
