What Are We Doing Here

New essays by the Orange and Pulitzer Prize winning author of Gilead, Home and Lila, Marilynne Robinson. One of today’s most important thinkers, admired by President Obama and many others, Marilynne impels us to action and offers us hope. In this new essay collection she trains her incisive mind on our modern political climate and the mysteries of faith. Whether she is investigating how the work of great thinkers about America like Emerson and Tocqueville inform our political consciousness or discussing the way that beauty informs and disciplines daily life, Robinson’s peerless prose and boundless humanity are on full display.
