Reading Richard Powers: The Echo Maker

  • Echomaker_large

Novelist Richard Powers switched his major from physics to English when he was an undergraduate, but his fiction remains informed by modern science. His latest novel, The Echo Maker, is a meta brain-twister about a young man whose post-traumatic condition makes him see his sister as an impostor. Powers, who won a National Book Award for his efforts (he'd been nominated four times previously), makes up for the lack of poetry in his writing with his fiercely inquisitive nature. His personality should make for an enjoyable reading at JCCSF.
