Her first novel, Housekeeping, is considered one of today's finest books; Her second, Gilead, won the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, took the unprecedented step of re-telling Gilead's story through the eyes of another character. She's written just three novels in thirty years, which is perhaps the reason why each is a masterpiece.It was a joy to talk to award-winning author Marilynne Robinson about what she believes and how she does her craft.

Thanks for the nice words Rachel. Warm feelings all round :)
Marilynne was a joy to talk to. I was touched by her joy, and her generosity in passing on her writing tips. A class act!

Hi Sheridan,
I just listened to your interview with Marilynne Robinson on the podcast.
What an inspiring and enriching dialogue!
We listeners are privileged to have access to such high quality material and I want to thank you (and Marilynne and your team) for providing it.
More broadly, I want to thank you for everything you bring to your broadcasting. Your depth of knowledge, sensitivity, intelligence and empathy is truly a gift - you're a serious heavyweight on God's side!
Blessings and thanks from Rachel
