HTML:<p><b>"</b>Robinson's slow prose is the star here, and narrator Adam Verner gives great depth of emotion to Jack's raw suffering and ethical dilemmas...Come for the love story; stay for a couple who learn to find the beauty in broken humanity, and what grace can look like for those who love each other." — <i>Booklist</i><br /> <b><br /> This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.<br /> Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, returns to the world of Gilead with <i>Jack,</i> the latest novel in one of the great works of contemporary American fiction</b><br /> Marilynne Robinson's mythical world of Gilead, Iowa—the setting of her novels <i>Gilead</i>, <i>Home</i>, and <i>Lila</i>, and now <i>Jack</i>—and its beloved characters have illuminated and interrogated the complexities of American history, the power of our emotions, and the wonders of a sacred world. <i>Jack</i> is Robinson's fourth novel in this now-classic series. In it, Robinson tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the prodigal son of Gilead's Presbyterian minister, and his romance with Della Miles, a high school teacher who is also the child of a preacher. Their deeply felt, tormented, star-crossed interracial romance resonates with all the paradoxes of American life, then and now.<br /> Robinson's Gilead novels, which have won one Pulitzer Prize and two National Book Critics Circle Awards, are a vital contribution to contemporary American literature and a revelation of our national character and humanity.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux</b></p>.
