What makes a person want to be a tree?


Bren and his partner Caelyn are feeling at a standstill in their lives. One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it's spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places.

As cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction. Bren isn't so sure. Drifting apart, Bren and Caelyn are forced to question what it really means to be human - and if they are ready to stand still.

Recenzii

You will not be able to stop thinking about this extraordinary book. A thrilling page-turner for our times, that both chills and provokes
A wry tale, deftly told, of people around the world planting themselves and growing into trees as an act of defiance. Light and lovely, it transforms the anguish of our moment into a fable of hope
Both a celebration of trees and a warning of a planet in crisis... Davis grounds the speculative elements of the story in strong characterisation and relatable contemporary concerns
A strange, profound exploration of what makes us human
People turn into trees in this curious eco satire... an even-tempered, quietly satirical speculative novel
Thrilling, thought-provoking, and incredibly tender... I devoured it whole
A great and beautiful book that is profound and profoundly moving. Airy, light, witty, with the frankness of a Sally Rooney novel and the delicate strangeness of Olga Tokarczuk. I couldn't have been more entranced
A dazzling blend of cosmic eco-horror and arthouse sci-fi, Arborescence is one of the most profound and beautiful books you'll ever read. A devastating and unforgettable elegy for the planet
Both an excoriating lambast of end-stage-capitalism and a truly tender love letter to the human species. It's laugh-out-loud funny, disarmingly wise and very, very readable
Original, mind-bending and uplifting. I loved this beautiful, feral book so much, I wanted to walk into its pages and never look back
As absurd as it is utterly convincing, this is a book about holding onto love in a world of seismically shifting reality. In other words, a book about us, a book about now. It's brilliant
I did not know how much I needed a novel like Arborescence. On one level, it's a beguiling story about humans who metamorphose to save the warming planet. On another level, it's a cri de coeur, written with tenderness for all who wonder how this ends. Arborescence is a tremendously moving affirmation of what's worth saving - love, family, clean air, and silence. I wept through the last fifty pages
A strange and compelling exploration of our current moment. Arborescence is part Sally Rooney, part Stephen King. It reads like a thriller but has the tenderness and insight of poetry
A balm and an urgent whisper of hope. This is a book to help us believe that all is not lost. Extraordinary
Intelligent and thoughtful... a dystopian world that feels simultaneously too close to home and impossibly science fiction, yet leaves you with an almost utopian feeling of solace and optimism. A philosophical book about the very nature of being human and the future of our species, but also a personal story of love, loss, and redemption
Strikingly original, offbeat, and haunting. Vincenzo Latronico's Perfection meets Han Kang's The Vegetarian in this novel about what remains possible in the midst of the soft apocalypse. Rhett Davis's account of a couple's respective responses to life on an increasingly hostile planet is fantastically unsettling
Thoughtful and original, Rhett Davis' novel offers a poignant and delightful lens on the absurdity and futility of 21st century life
Inventive... a generous act of writing... If you're looking for something that's clever, that won't bum you out, that's beautifully written, then this might be the one for you
Arborescence is speculative fiction at its best: an end-of-world story that offers green leaves of hope
Prepare yourself for a weird one... Rhett Davis is a skilled and playful writer with an eye for the absurd and the profound... an unforgettable tale
Davis' signature narrative playfulness and dryly humorous dialogue is always on hand to help sweep us further into the story . . . Arborescence is a reminder of the special way fictional worlds can allow readers to retreat from, and find the fortitude to return to, their own world
Intriguing, utterly original . . . leaves a lasting impression and rings with unsettling questions
With Davis' sharp eye and irreverent humour, the genre-blurring story branches into the tangled roots of suburban life and the natural world
'A dazzling blend of cosmic eco-horror and arthouse sci-fi, Arborescence is one of the most profound and beautiful books you'll ever read. A devastating and unforgettable elegy for the planet' Chris Flynn, author of Orpheus Nine

'Original, mind-bending and uplifting. I loved this beautiful, feral book so much, I wanted to walk into its pages and never look back' Inga Simpson, author of The Thinning

'A strange and compelling exploration of our current moment. Arborescence is part Sally Rooney, part Stephen King. It reads like a thriller but has the tenderness and insight of poetry' Ben Rawlence, author of The Treeline

'A balm and an urgent whisper of hope. This is a book to help us believe that all is not lost. Extraordinary' Kate Mildenhall, author of The Hummingbird Effect
