[edit] Dawkins review

I'm reinstating the Dawkins review, not only because it is an actual writing sample of Robinson, but also because it is representative of some of her larger concerns as a writer. Icarus of old 04:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age

Several other sources list Robinson's birthdate as 1943, not 1947. For instance: http://www.ncteamericancollection.org/litmap/robinson_marilynne_id.htm and this NYT article refers to her as having been 37 in 1980: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/24/magazine/24ROBINSON.html?_r=1&oref=slogin; also http://www.washington.edu/uwired/outreach/cspn/Website/Hist%20n%20Lit/Part%20Five/Commentary/Robinson%20Comm.html, and http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/LitCheck/robinson_m.htm, and http://www.bookrags.com/Marilynne_Robinson

• Many sources give 1944. Little biographical detail about her seems to be on the Net. It would be good if someone could find her year and date of birth, and some more biographical info.Alpheus (talk) 22:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
