Marilynne Robinson’s Essential American Stories

“This is Robinson’s entire cosmology: the world is self-evidently miraculous, but only rarely do we pay it the attention it deserves. Robinson calls her style of writing cosmic realism, a patient chronicling of the astonishing nature of existence. Her attentiveness to creation at every level is what makes her fiction so convincing: she sees everything, including us.”

It was hard to figure out what to quote from this long profile, I love Robinson's writing so much. Her attention to detail and her characters are so detailed, is amazing. And she is quietly firm in her convictions, showing us so much about the world with the perfect words.
