LITERARY FICTION

Gilead

by Marilynne Robinson · 2004

★★★★★ 5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
An aging Iowa pastor writes letters to his young son, knowing he won't live to see the boy grow up. Robinson's prose is the closest contemporary American fiction comes to benediction.
Allo's take
Every page earns its attention. Robinson restored theological weight to American fiction and somehow made it sing.
