Robert Waldron is gefascineerd door het leven van degenen die de wereld hebben afgezworen om een groter doel na te streven, en plaatst zijn verhalen vaak binnen de afgezonderde muren van abdijen, seminaries en kloosters. Zijn werk duikt in de diepgaande spirituele en existentiële vragen die in deze omgevingen ontstaan, en onderzoekt hoe dergelijke toegewijde gemeenschappen de individuele identiteit en het geloof vormen.
