"There is no other contemporary American writer quite like Richard Powers. He is, as Sir Cliff Richard once said of Elvis, "a phenomena". The Time of Our Singing is his eighth novel since the boy-genius published Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance in 1985, and, just into his mid-40s, he is a long way from "dropping the feather", as they say. Powers is the best example of an American novelist who straddles CP Snow's "two cultures": a trained musician who began a degree in physics and then switched to literature, who programmed computers while writing his first novel, Powers is at home in the arts and the sciences, and takes the divide between them both as the subject matter and the structural principle of his fiction. There is barely a page where the reader is not brought up by a startling image or a carefully worked idea. You would have to go back to Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus to find the experience of playing and listening to music so beautifully caught in words. Others may give us more complex characters, but it is rare to find a novel as intellectually and emotionally engaging as this" (The Guardian).
