"A grand novel--grand in its reach, grand in its themes, grand in it patterning...If Powers were an American writer of the nineteenth century...he'd probably be the Herman Melville of Moby-Dick. His picture is that big."--Margaret Atwood, The New York Review of Books
"A brilliant novel...A vision of wonder."--The Boston Globe
"Fascinating...In the end we see what Powers, with his beautiful language and broad reach, always wishes to have us see: the eternal mystery of human personality and how it functions in the extreme drama of the modern world."--O, The Oprah Magazine
"A kind of neuro-cosmological adventure...an exhilarating narrative feat...Powers is a formidable talent, and this is a lucid, fiercely entertaining novel."--The Washington Post Book World
"A wise and elegant post-9/11 novel...The mysteries unfold so organically and stealthily that you are unaware of his machinations until they come to stunning fruition...Powers accomplishes something magnificent."--Colson Whitehead, The New York Times Book Review
"Powers may well be one of the smartest novelists now writing...In The Echo Maker, Powers hopes to plumb the nature of consciousness, and he does so with such alert passion that we come to recognize in his quest the novel's abiding theme--What it means to be human will forever elude us."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
"One of the year's most engrossing."--Entertainment Weekly
"[Powers's] characters are unforgettable, flesh-and-blood individuals as finely drawn as those of any contemporary fiction writer."--Steve Weinberg, The Seattle Times
Winner of the 2006 National Book Award for Fiction
The Echo Maker is "a remarkable novel, from one of our greatest novelists, and a book that will change all who read it" (Booklist, starred review).
On a winter night on a remote Nebraska road, twenty-seven-year-old Mark Schluter has a near-fatal car accident. His older sister, Karin, returns reluctantly to their hometown to nurse Mark back from a traumatic head injury. But when Mark emerges from a coma, he believes that this woman--who looks, acts, and sounds just like his sister--is really an imposter. When Karin contacts the famous cognitive neurologist Gerald Weber for help, he diagnoses Mark as having Capgras syndrome. The mysterious nature of the disease, combined with the strange circumstances surrounding Mark's accident, threatens to change all of their lives beyond recognition. In The Echo Maker, Richard Powers proves himself to be one of our boldest and most entertaining novelists.
