The couple marries and has three children: eldest son Jonah, a charismatic, egotistical singing prodigy; Joseph, his self-sacrificing accompanist; and Ruth, the rebel of the family, who becomes a militant black activist. There are two separate strands to the story: one is a third-person chronicle of David and Delia's relationship through the 1940s; the other, narrated by Joseph, is about the brothers' education in the nearly all-white world of classical music and their experience of the civil rights movement as the rest of the country grudgingly catches up to the Stroms' radical experiment.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C357019</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C357019</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Powers, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/357019026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250829672/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1310856980</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Playground]]></title><description><![CDATA[When two brilliant misfits bond at an elite Chicago private school--one a white legacy kid named Todd Keane and the other, Rafi Young, a Black scholarship student from the South Side--their friendship seems as boundary-breaking and limitless as the 3,000-year-old board game that brings them together.

This haunting image, capturing the last moments of innocence on the brink of World War I, provides the central focus of Powers's brilliant and compelling novel. As the fate of the three farmers is chronicled, two contemporary stories unfold. The young narrator becomes obsessed with the photo, while Peter Mays, a computer writer in Boston, discovers he has a personal link with it.

His efforts are sidetracked by other, more intractable codes--social, moral, musical, spiritual--and he falls in love with a member of his research team. Years later, another young man and woman team up to investigate a different scientific mystery: Why did the eminently promising Ressler suddenly disappear from the world of science? Strand by strand, these two love stories twist about each other in a double helix of desire. The critically acclaimed third novel from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers, The Gold Bug Variations is an intellectual tour-de-force that probes the meaning of love, science, music, and art."--Back cover.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1323427</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1323427</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Powers, Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1323427026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063119420/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-2413559-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[L'arbre-monde]]></title><description><![CDATA[Après des années passées seule dans la forêt à étudier les arbres, la botaniste Pat Westerford en revient avec une découverte sur ce qui est peut-être le premier et le dernier mystère du monde : la communication entre les arbres.
