The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He’s also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs. He learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment to bolster Robin’s emotional control, one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother’s brain…
With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of life beyond, and its account of a father and son’s ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers’s most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?
A very human story set in a cosmic (and global and political) context. Brilliant
Olihan tämä ihana. Kamala, surullinen ja kaunis. Paikoin ehkä hiukan naivi, ja isän rakkauden kaikkivoipuus paikoin jo ärsytti, etenkin siltä osin että lapsen mieli (joka olikin ”aikamoinen”) voisi/saisi/koskaan pitäisi olla ja missä määrin vanhempien muokattavissa. Mutta tarinat maailmankaikkeudesta ja elonkirjosta olivat päätähuumavia! Väkisinkin tuli opittua myös uusi termejä.
