âWith the sublime Jack, [Marilynne Robinson] resumes and deepens her quest, extending it to the contemplation of race . . . There is richness and depth at every turn.ââO, the Oprah Magazine\
Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, returns to the world of Gilead with Jack, the latest novel in one of the great works of contemporary American fiction\
Marilynne Robinsonâs mythical world of Gilead, Iowaâthe setting of her novels Gilead, Home, Lila, and now Jackâand its beloved characters have illuminated and interrogated the complexities of American history, the power of our emotions, and the wonders of a sacred world.\
Jack is Robinsonâs fourth novel in this now-classic series. In it, Robinson tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the prodigal son of Gileadâs 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.\
Robinsonâs 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.
