Banter 39: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

Thursday, May 31st
7pm - Kirk's apartment

"Marilynne Robinson’s Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critic Circle Award winning novel introduces us to the fictional town of Gilead, Iowa. We hear the gentle voice of the narrator, the ageing Rev. John Ames, as he writes a letter to his seven-year-old son Robby, leaving a legacy of family heritage, love, forgiveness, and serenity."


A NY Times book review (2004) from the insightful James Wood on Gilead:  https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/28/books/review/28COVERWOOD.html
