Encore une fois Richard Powers surprend par son erudition et son art de traiter de sujet complexe, profond au travers de personnages touchants et de leurs rencontres. Contrairement à son roman précédent "Le temps où nous chantions" qui m'avait subjugué, j'ai été moins pris par l'histoire et ses personnages étant bloqué par mon manque de connaissance sur la psychiatrie et le cerveau humain. Les réflexions de l'auteur sur le "moi", la conscience de soi, le monde réel ou imaginaire que chacun se créé pour survivre et s'accepter sont denses mais parfois difficiles à suivre. ( )
Powers does a beautiful job with these characters, as we see each of them navigate through their self-preoccupations, their histories (shared and not) and where their own needs intersect with others.

To find the soul it is necessary to lose it. - A. R. Luria
Part One:
We are all potential fossils still carrying within our bodies the crudities of former existences, the marks of a world in which living creatures flow with little more consistency than clouds from age to age. - Loren Eiseley, The Immense Journey, "The Slit"
Part Two:
I know a painting so evanescent that it is seldom viewed at all. - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
Part Three:
I once saw, on a flowerpot in my own living room, the efforts of a field mouse to build a remembered field. I have lived to see this episode repeated in a thousand guises, and since I have spent a large portion of my life in the shade of a non-existent tree, i think I am entitled to speak for the field mouse. - Loren Eiseley, The Night Country, "The Brown Wasps"
Part Four:
What was full was not my creel, but my memory. Like the white-throats, I had forgotten it would ever again be aught but morning on the Fork. - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
As for men, those myriad little detached ponds with their own swarming corpuscular life, what were they but a way that water has of going about beyond the reach of rivers? - Loren Eiseley, The Immense Journey, "The Flow of the River"
Time didn’t age you; memory did.

His father is hit. He sees his parent sprayed across the nearby earth. Birds scream into the shattered air, their brain stems pumping panic. This chaos, too, lays down a permanent trace, remembered forever: open season.
“I do still believe that Mark is in no danger of harming anyone.” (Dr. Robert Weber)
The blessing of endless information: the Internet, democratizing even health care. Suppose we have all pharmaceuticals an Amazon rating. The wisdom of crowds. Do away with experts all together.
She’d have diagnosed herself with seasonal affective order, but she refused to believe in recently invented diseases. Riegel tried to get her to sit under his plant grow lights.
But something in the neuroscientist now sees: responsibility has no limits. The case historíes you appropriate are yours.
