Dreaming with Goethe

[achronon (Ed Mahood)]

@Ariadne

I read Richard Powers 600 page novel, Overstory
and listened to it on audio format. And would love to see it become a film.

While I understand your enthusiasm here, I’m politely skeptical (as we curmudgeons often are): different media, different messages, Mr. McLuhan might say. I found it a very powerful novel; well worth the time spent, but so full of tree lore that I wonder how effectively it could be condensed into a couple of hours of visually heavy presentation … but, hey, what is creativity for? I found it noteworthy that Suzanne Simard, to whom @MarcoMasi linked us in the Wholeness of Nature 5 thread, was very likely the model for Overstory’s Patricia Westerford.
