Marilynne Robinson has built a sterling reputation as a writer of sharp, subtly moving prose, not only as a major American novelist, but also as a rigorous thinker and incisive essayist. In' When I Was a Child I Read Books' she returns to and expands upon the themes which have preoccupied her work with renewed vigor. In 'Austerity as Ideology, ' she tackles the global debt crisis, and the charged political and social political climate in this country that makes finding a solution to our financial troubles so challenging. In 'Open Thy Hand Wide' she searches out the deeply embedded role of generosity in Christian faith. And in 'When I Was a Child, ' one of her most personal essays to date, an account of her childhood in Idaho becomes an exploration 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.
