Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:A warm and witty saga about agribusiness, environmental activism, and community??from the celebrated author of The Book of Form and Emptiness and A Tale for the Time Being

Yumi Fuller hasn??t set foot in her hometown of Liberty Falls, Idaho??heart of the potato-farming industry??since she ran away at age fifteen. Twenty-five years later, the prodigal daughter returns to confront her dying parents, her best friend, and her conflicted past, and finds herself caught up in an altogether new drama. The post-millennial farming community has been invaded by Agribusiness forces at war with a posse of activists, the Seeds of Resistance, who travel the country in a camping car, ??The Spudnick,? biofueled by pilfered McDonald??s french-fry oil. Following her widely hailed, award-winning debut novel, My Year of Meats, Ruth Ozeki returns here to deliver a quirky cast of characters and a wickedly humorous appreciation of the foibles of corporate life, globalization, political resistance, youth culture, and aging baby boomers. All Over Creation tells a celebratory tale of the beauty of seeds, roots, and growth??and the capacity for renewal tha… (más)

Ozeki knows how to tell a story, a collection of plots that are rich and complex and embedded in places and times from her characters past and present. I seldom read fiction longer than 300 pages, but the extra hundred in 'All Over Creation' were no burden at all. ( )

An interesting cast of characters and story. There were a few places where it wasn't clear whether the story was the focus or a lecture on the perils of GMO's. In the end, however, the story won out. ( )

I liked the characters better at the beginning than at the end. (Yumi Fuller especially is a real piece of work. She runs away at age 14 after her relationship with a teacher comes to light. 25 years and three kids later, her maturity level has not changed at all.) Most of the characters treat the people around them with resentment and/or neglect, which was very frustrating for me to read. I also wish there were more facts about GMOS instead of a faux-debate with PR reps on one side and hippies on the other. On the positive side, Ozeki's writing is very vivid and readable. ( )

I finally ended my fiction drought of 2019 with this title! The main character grew up in Idaho with a potato farmer father and Japanese expat mother with an intense green thumb before GTFO at a young age. The aging of said parents requires her to return for the first time in 20 years with the children she now has, and everyone is suitably uncomfortable with the arrangement. It was a rich narrative with strong development of a lot of characters, even though we likely could have done without some of them. ( )

I adore Ruth Ozeki. This was the first time I was disappointed with one of her books. Yumi was so shallow and hard to like and Cass' pining grew tiresome. But I loved the Seeds and loved the Resistance and cheered them on wholeheartedly. The research and passion Ozeki brings to her work and in particular, this cause of fighting genetically engineered produce is commendable and enlightening. ( )
