Marilynne Robinson has built a sterling reputation as not only a major American novelist but also a rigorous thinker and an incisive essayist. In this lucid but impassioned collection, Robinson expands with renewed vigor the themes that have preoccupied her work. "When I Was a Child I Read Books" tackles the charged political and social climate in this country, the deeply embedded role of generosity in Christian faith, and the nature of individualism and the myth of the American West. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as one of our essential writers."

Recenzii

"A glimmering, provocative collection of essays, each a rhetorically brilliant, deeply felt exploration of education, culture, and politics...beautifully intelligent."---"The Boston Globe

""Robinson is that rare essayist whose sentences make you sit up and pay attention....The greatest pleasures of this book are its provocations, which are inseparable from its prose....Her essays are psalms to an indivisible America."---"The Wall Street Journal

""Illuminating...The best companion of all to Robinson's novels might be her own essays."---"The New York Times Book Review

""Elegant essays...Reading [them] is like taking a draught of water from a cold spring. They offer us something rewarding, deeply essential, and long-sought."---Roxana Robinson, "The Washington Post
"
"A broadside defense of literature and classic liberalism...Her defense of our national character and the systems it created can swell your heart."---"Los Angeles Times

""One of the most remarkable of modern writers...This is a rare writer about America and one it seems to me we need."---"The Buffalo News

""The indomitable Marilynne Robinson radiates genius in her collection of essays."---"Vanity Fair"
