Abstract/Description
The epigraph for Rawlings’s The Sojourner quotes I Chronicles 29:15, “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” This opening image is one of many hints to the cosmic consciousness that Rawlings writes into her narratives.
