New essays on theological, political, and recent themes, by the Pulitzer Prize winner

Marilynne Robinson has plumbed the human spirit in her renowned novels, including Lila, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Gilead, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. On this new essay collection she trains her incisive mind on our up to date political climate and the mysteries of faith. Whether she is investigating how the work of great thinkers about The usa like Emerson and Tocqueville inform our political consciousness or discussing the way in which that beauty informs and disciplines day by day life, Robinson’s peerless prose and boundless humanity are on full display. What Are We Doing Here? is a call for Americans to continue the tradition of the ones great thinkers and to remake American political and cultural life as “deeply impressed by obligation [and as] an excellent theater of heroic generosity, which, in spite of all, is on occasion palpable still.”
