Review
"Provocative...fascinating...dazzling."--Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"An excellent introduction to Powers's work, a lighter, leaner treatment of his favorite themes and techniques...An engaging story-teller...even as he questions the conventions of narrative and character, Generosity gains in momentum and suspense."--Jay McInerney, The New York Times Book Review
"Powers is a brilliantly imaginative writer, working here with a lightness of touch, a crisp sense of peace, and a distinct warmth...Powers shows both his reach as a student of humanity and his mastery as a storyteller."--O, The Oprah Magazine
"When written by Dostoevsky, Dickens, or Richard Powers at his best, one may feel that [the novel] can contain every facet of the world."--Michael Dirda, The New York Review of Books
"Powers fuses riveting narrative and spot-on dialogue with thought-provoking social analysis."--Dan Cryer, Newsday
"One of our most exciting contemporary novelists."--Amanda Gefter, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Powers is better than the best of almost anybody else."--John Leonard, Harper's Magazine
"Powers may well be one of the smartest novelists now writing."--Los Angeles Times
"One of our greatest novelists."--Booklist
"[Powers's] characters are unforgettable, flesh-and-blood individuals as finely drawn as those of any contemporary fiction writer."--Steve Weinberg, The Seattle Times
"To read his work is to be wowed by his verbal muscularity...admirable...wonderfully original."--Meg Wolitzer, The New York Times Book Review
