Art for the End Times: 'Why leftists should read Marilynne Robinsondespite her sins'
b'Read the transcript of this podcast:
Marilynne Robinson established herself through some of the most biting critiques of neoliberalism written in her time. Since being identified as Obama\'s "favorite novelist," she\'s taken political positions more aligned with the powerful than her readers might have once thought possible. Nevertheless, the searing insight and aesthetic magnificence of Robinson\'s ornate prose can\'t be denied. Phil Christman, author of How to be Normal, joins Lyta Gold on this episode of Art for the End Times to discuss Robinson\'s oeuvre, its impact on his own writing, and what the left can still recover from her work.
