The Global Success Novel with 1,000,000 Copies and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

A marvelous and exhilarating novel that narrates the stories of nine strangers who are united by an evolving natural disaster. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A student, at a harsh party in the 1980s, gets electrified, dies, and returns to life by creatures of air and light. A scientist, who neither hears nor speaks, discovers that trees communicate with each other. A member of the Air Force crew in the Vietnam War is ejected from the sky and saved by falling into a banana tree.

This is the story of these and five other strangers, each called in different ways by the natural world, who meet in the last battle to save it from destruction.
