Hundreds of thousands were enthralled by the luminous voice of John Ames in "Gilead," Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. "Home "is an entirely independent, deeply affecting novel that takes place concurrently in the same locale, this time in the household of Reverend Robert Boughton, Ames's closest friend. Glory Boughton, aged thirty-eight, has returned to Gilead to care for her dying father. Soon her brother, Jack--the prodigal son of the family, gone for twenty years--comes home too, looking for refuge and trying to make peace with a past littered with tormenting trouble and pain. Jack is one of the great characters in recent literature. A bad boy from childhood, an alcoholic who cannot hold a job, he is perpetually at odds with his surroundings and with his traditionalist father, though he remains Boughton's most beloved child. Brilliant, lovable, and wayward, Jack forges an intense bond with Glory and engages painfully with Ames, his godfather and namesake. "Home "is a moving and healing book about families, family secrets, and the passing of the generations, about love and death and faith. It is Robinson's greatest work, an unforgettable embodiment of the deepest and most universal emotions.

玛丽莲·罗宾逊（1943— ），美国当代著名女作家，生于爱达荷州，多年来一直在爱荷华大学教授写作，被公认为“作家中的作家”。1980年出版小说处女作《管家》，获得“美国笔会/海明威奖”，并获得1982年普利策小说奖提名。《管家》出版后的20余年里，她没有再涉足小说创作，而将注意力投向环保和美国当代思想领域的纷争。小说《基列家书》（2004）获2005年普利策小说奖，这也是奥巴马*爱的小说之一。《基列家书》的续篇《家园》（2008）获得2009年度橘子奖，并获得美国国家图书奖提名。《莱拉》（2014）可以被视为基列三部曲的结局，获洛杉矶时报图书奖，并入围美国国家图书奖的长名单。

此外，罗宾逊一直关注美国社会思想、实证主义和新教传统的关系，著有多部散文集《祖国 ：英国、福利社会和核污染》（1989）、《亚当之死：当代思想随笔》（1998）、《思维的缺失：消除自我之现代神话的本性》（2010）、《论事物的给定性》（2015） 。2013年，美国总统奥巴马亲自为她颁发国家人文奖章。

基列三部曲是罗宾逊*负盛名、技巧几近完美的作品，优雅而深邃地勾勒了人与人之间的伦理关系，也可以被视为美国国家和文化的一种自我疗愈过程，它用那些强有力的灵魂，呈现出美国失落已久的道德谱系。
