about

"Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice, about everything." ―Margaret Atwood

Can a novel about women with electrifying power help us create new myths about gender?

The Power by Naomi Alderman is an engrossing read AND a mythopoetic work that invites conversation about our myths of gender and patriarchy.

Alderman tells a good story. She also asks important and provocative questions. Could the answers we find contribute to a new mythos about men and women and human nature? I hope you'll read it for yourself-- and here are a few thoughts to carry with you to the page.

"I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric, and I felt a closed circuit humming between the book and me as I read."―Amal El-Mohtar, New York Times Book Review
