Marilynne Robinson.

This woman sounds astonishingly promising for a contemporary professional writer.  She has a shot at being interesting.  I’ll find a way for a copy of something she’s written to get into my hands.

    Try this for starters. A little hard to follow at times, but perhaps that is a function of the adaptation.

  2. I have to say, Ken, I thought that essay wandered about aimlessly and did not have the elegance I thought I might expect. She starts with the planet Mercury, talks a lot about the Cold War, and says the word of the age is “austerity,” a word I hear only on BBC News, not as the byword of our era. But I won’t give up just yet.
