New essays on theological, political, and contemporary themes, by the Pulitzer Prize winner

Marilynne Robinson has plumbed the human spirit in her renowned novels, including Lila, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Gilead, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In this new essay collection she trains her incisive mind on our modern political climate and the mysteries of faith. Whether she is investigating how the work of great thinkers about America like Emerson and Tocqueville inform our political consciousness or discussing the way that beauty informs and disciplines daily life, Robinson's peerless prose and boundless humanity are on full display. What Are We Doing Here? is a call for Americans to continue the tradition of those great thinkers and to remake American political and cultural life as "deeply impressed by obligation and as] a great theater of heroic generosity, which, despite all, is sometimes palpable still."

No show but stays on
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I wear these socks daily. They truly don’t show with my workout shoes or with hey dudes. But the best thing about them is that they actually stay on your foot. I work out hard and I don’t ever have to pull them up. I do wish they were just a little bit thicker than they are, but they are definitely a product I will buy again.

Great for workouts
Size: 10.5, Color: (110) Summit White/White/Khaki Base
I bought these shoes for home workouts, both lifting and aerobics. They're very stable, have the perfect amount of cushion without compromising stability, and are comfortable. They run a bit small; I'm usually a 10, ordered a 10.5 and my toe is at the end. They're snug but not tight and seem to have a good amount of room in the toe box. I'd recommend these.

My walking shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: (418) Blue Smoke/White/Nu Blue
I bought these last year before a vacation when I knew we'd be doing miles of walking a day. I had ZERO blisters breaking them in and immediately walking 10k+ steps in them. Now they still get a lot of wear at home for outings when walking will be involved. No issues, very comfortable, would recommend!
