Event Description

Please join us in celebrating the release of Richard Powers's Booker-Prize nominated novel, Playground. He'll be in conversation with acclaimed Greenwood author, Michael Christie.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Overstory comes an epic tale of love, friendship, and humanity’s next great adventure. Traversing borders and oceans, connection and loss, ingenuity and transcendence, Playground brings to light the systems of competition, cooperation, commerce, exploration, and love that tie the fates of unlikely humans together.

RICHARD POWERS is the bestselling author of Bewilderment, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; The Overstory, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and the William Dean Howells Medal, and a finalist for the Booker Prize; and The Echo Maker, winner of the National Book Award for Fiction. Powers is also the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and the Pushcart Prize, among other accolades.

MICHAEL CHRISTIE is the author of three books, most recently the novel Greenwood, which was an international bestseller, longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, won the Arthur Ellis Award, and has been translated into 10 languages.
