Marilynne Robinson recommends
The Unsettled (2023)
Ayana Mathis
"Shelter without the grace of welcome is exposure to the worst coldness of the world. Loyalty and the offer of comfort satisfy needs we feel in our bones. In The Unsettled, Ayana Mathis brings these extremes of experience intensely to life. This is a fine, powerful book."
Foregone (2021)
Russell Banks
"Foregone is a subtle meditation on a life composed of half-forgotten impulses and their endless consequences, misapprehensions of others that are accepted and exploited almost passively, a minor heroism that is only enhanced by demurral. In the rages of a sick old man profound questions arise--what is a life? A self? And what is lost when truth destroys the fabrications that sustain other lives?"
