In this essay collection, Marilynne Robinson trains her incisive mind on our modern political climate and the mysteries of faith. Whether she is investigating how the work of great thinkers about America, such as Emerson and Tocqueville, conditions political consciousness, or discussing the way that beauty informs the disciples daily life, Robinson's peerless prose and boundless humanity are on full display. What Are We Doing Here? is a call for Americans to continue the tradition of those great thinkers and to remake American political and cultural life as "deeply impressed by obligation [and as] a great theater of heroic generosity which, despite all, is sometimes palpable still."
