Finally reading The Overstory by Richard Powers and getting the hype 🌳📚#booksky

Quote from open kindle, showing The Overstory by Richard Powers “
down their pollen, soon they will turn into spiny fruits. Poplars repeat the wind's cossip. Persimmons and walnuts set out their bribes and rowans their Hood red chusters. Ancient oaks wave prophecieso future weather. The several hundred kind: of hawthom lauch at the sincle name they re forced to share Laurels insist that ewen death is nothing to lose sleep over.
Something in the air's scent commands the woman: Close your eyes and think of willow. The weeping you see will be wrong. Picture an acacia thorn. Nothing in your thought will be sharp enough. What hovers right above you? What floats over your head right now—now?
Trees even farther away join in: All the ways you imagine us-bewitched mangroves up on stilts, a nutmeg's in. verted spade, gnarled baja elephant trunks, the straight-up missile of a sal—are always amputations. Your kind never sees us whole. You miss the half of it, and more. There's always as much belowground as above.
That's the trouble with people, their root problem. Life runs alongside them, unseen. Right here, right next. Creating the soil. Cycling water. Trading in nutrients. Making weather.
Building atmosphere. Feeding and curing and sheltering more kinds of creatures than people know how to count.
A chorus of living wood sings to the woman: If your mind were only a slightly greener thing, we'd drown you in meaning.

I need to collect my thoughts and read the think pieces and angered reviews about this fascinatingly boring book by a man who is obnoxious in a way that is hard to put my finger on. It was important to Mr. Pirsig for the world to know that the strangers who killed his son were black:

is the sense in which it is a culture-bearer.
The receding Ancient Greek perspective of the past ten years has a very dark side: Chris is dead.
He was murdered. At about 8:00 P.M. on Saturday, November 17, 1979, in San Francisco, he left the Zen Center, where he was a student, to visit a friend's house a block away on Haight Street.
According to witnesses, a car stopped on the street beside him and two men, black, jumped out. One came from behind him so that Chris couldn't escape, and grabbed his arms. The one in front of him
