The only Powers books that I cared for were Gold Bug and Three Farmers. And now that I think about it, I don't think that I even finished any of the others.

 Powers, Richard. Generosity: An Enhancement. Farrar.Oct. 2009. 304p.

Algerian refugee Thassadit Amzwar's upbeat personality so puzzles her
creative nonfiction instructor—shouldn't she be traumatized?—that he
starts investigating her. Soon she's in the clutches of a crazed
geneticist determined to find the genotype for happiness.
