Robinson thinks in long sentences and longer thoughts. These essays move like conversations with someone whose mind you want to borrow for a few hours. She connects childhood reading to political economy, faith to practical generosity. The ideas fit together like well-made furniture. This is for people who read to understand their own thinking better, who believe serious questions deserve serious attention.
