"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
