    A companion volume to Robinson's luminous, Pulitzer-winning novel Gilead (2004). The focus here shifts from John Ames, Gilead's memorable protagonist, to his lifelong best friend Robert Boughton. A compassionate envisioning of singularity and commonality reminiscent of the most soulful and moving work of Willa Cather, William Maxwell and James Agee. It comes astonishingly close to matching its amazing predecessor in beauty and power. A wild, eccentric, radical work of literature that grows out of the broadest, most fertile, most familiar native literary tradition.
