Richard Powers, one of postmodern American novelists, is the typical representative of contemporary American “X-Generation”. His ninth novel, The Echo Maker , won the American National Book Award in its publication year. Powers’s fiction usually contains rich ecological thoughts. Based on the approach of eco-criticism and the proper construction of the biotic community, the novel shows the multiple relationships between man and nature, man and man, and man and place, which provides a new perspective for understanding and finding out the ecological thoughts presented by Richard Powers.
