Marilynne Robinson reviews Annie Dillard's latest

Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead and Housekeeping, reviews The Maytrees:

"The Maytrees" is about wonder — in the terms of this novel, life's one truth. It is wonder indeed that is invoked here, vast and elusive and inexhaustible and intimate and timeless. There is a resolute this-worldliness that startles the reader again and again with recognition. How much we overlook! What a world this is, after all, and how profound on its own terms.
