JACK
Εκδότης Virago , ISBN 9780349011790
'Marilynne Robinson is one of the greatest writers of our time' Sunday Times
'Jack is the fourth in Robinson's luminous, profound Gilead series and perhaps
the best yet' Observer
Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the American National
Humanities Medal, returns to the world of Gilead with Jack, the final in one of
the great works of contemporary American fiction.
Jack tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the loved and grieved-over prodigal son of a
Presbyterian minister in Gilead, Iowa, a drunkard and a ne'er-do-well. In segregated St.
Louis sometime after World War II, Jack falls in love with Della Miles, an African-American
high school teacher, also a preacher's child, with a discriminating mind, a generous spirit
and an independent will. Their fraught, beautiful story is one of Robinson's greatest
achievements.
