Richard Powers is a genius. Bewilderment is an astonishing and devastating read. I had to just sit still for awhile after finishing it. Spectacular. I identified with too much of it. It really hit home.
Thoughts on the word "bewilderment." In this context, of course, the normal definition applies...confusion and surprise about what someone is experiencing. Discombobulation. But I also have to think of be-wild. Things returning to the wild maybe? Or being entranced with the wilds of nature and existence? All of these work with the context of this book. A compelling read.
