In Open Thy Hand Wide she searches out the deeply embedded role of generosity in Christian faith. And in When I Was a Child, one of her most personal essays to date, an account of her childhood in Idaho becomes an exploration of individualism and the myth of the American West. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as one of our essential writers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarilynne Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eHousekeeping \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 1981), \u003ci\u003eGilead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 2004), winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and \u003ci\u003eHome \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 2008), and the books of nonfiction, \u003ci\u003eMother Country\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 1989), \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Adam \u003c\/i\u003e(1998) and \u003ci\u003eAbsence of Mind \u003c\/i\u003e(2010).
