Their deeply felt, tormented, star-crossed interracial romance resonates with all the paradoxes of American life, then and now.Robinson’s 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."
