Wendell Berry
Jayber Crow
“This is a book about Heaven” says Jayber Crow “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber. Orphaned at age ten Jayber Crow’s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal in both its goodness and frailty. He began his search as a “pre–ministerial student” at Pigeonville College. There freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with “Old Grit” his profound professor of New Testament Greek. “You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out—perhaps a little at a time.” “And how long is that going to take” “I don't know. As long as you live perhaps.” “That could be a long time.” “I will tell you a further mystery” he said. “It may take longer.” Wendell Berry’s clear–sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts—love and loss joy and despair—is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership. unknown

Wendell Berry
Jayber Crow
Counterpoint LLC September 2001. Paper Back. New. Wendell Berry's new novel describes a man who has come to himself led and redeemed by love ''so that in the end he may be possessed by something greater no longer at all belonging to himself.'' We meet him as someone whose experience presents him with only questions having no answers. When he speaks his doubt his Bible college professor does not calm his fears. ''You cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out -- perhaps a little at a time.'' And so in time Jayber becomes the bachelor barber of Port William Kentucky just a few miles from his birthplace. He quietly lives out the questions and begins to discover that he indeed no longer belongs only to himself -- that who he is is everybody's business and that he is involved in an economy of love as real as the more mundane one of cutting hair. The inhabitants of Berry's Port William are known to us: they resemble our own neighbors and our own enemies who make us crazy because they are so different from us and yet so the same. And like them somehow ''we are perfected beyond time by one another's love compassion and forgiveness.'' 384 pp. Counterpoint LLC unknown

Wendell Berry
Life Is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition
Counterpoint Press May 2001. Paper Back. New. Berry's gentlemanly prose is a velvet glove clothing a rather devastating critique of E.O. Wilson's Consilience and its attempt to subsume all human knowledge and experience -- artistic and religious -- within an ''imperialistic materialism.'' Berry Brings together a sympathy with religious experience intimacy with the natural order and an easy literary genius to integrate the ''two cultures'' of science and the humanities when they should be integrated and to separate them when they should be separated. We were tempted to start quoting him but then realized that we would simply be reprinting the whole book in our own pages. We can only tell you that reading this book will shed light on what it means to live in the modern world without amputating either our rational or spiritual antennae. 153 pp. Counterpoint Press unknown

Wendell Berry
Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story
In the newest novel in the Port William series Wendell Berry’s beloved protagonist Andy Catlett tells the inspiring story of his grandfather Marce Catlett to his own children and grandchildren and gives them a key to their place on the questionably settled land they all love Andy Catlett’s story begins as his grandfather Marce Catlett rises in the dark to travel from his farm by horseback and train to Louisville for the auction of his 1906 tobacco crop. The price paid for each year’s crop has been depressed to virtually nothing by the power of a single buyer James B. Duke. This year is especially grim since the price offered to each grower is less than the expense of bringing the crop to market. A year’s labor is lost. Marce returns to his family defeated defiant and determined to grow another crop. Many of his fellow farmers at first seem to lack the resiliency and resourcefulness to continue. Only with the cooperation of other growers can a way be found that protects these farmers and keeps their rural families vital and in place. The power and depth of this story—and of the many stories within the history of the Port William Membership—resonate with love kindness and the held memory of family and community. In Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story celebrated author Wendell Berry brings to life a tale that devoted readers of the series will cherish. This moving novel is a testament to the goodwill that lives within the human heart and a stirring reminder that standing up for what we believe in is always a cause worth fighting for. unknown

Wendell Berry; Edward Hoagland; Paul Horgan; Peter Matthiessen
Mother Nature": four novels from these authors each a gift to his mother
1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. A collection of four novels from some of our most important 20th century environmental writers. Each book was a gift to the authors mother three of them inscribed. Each writer made his mark in both fiction and nonfiction in particular in nature writing and bioregionalism. A ready-made exhibit. <br /> <br /> Wendell Berry remains a leading figure in the environmental and agrarian movements with his deep attachment to his Kentucky farm. Edward Hoagland has been described by John Updike as the best essayist of my generation and has written widely on natural history. Paul Horgan won the Pulitzer Prize twice in history and in 1989 David McCullough argued persuasively in the New York Times that With the exception of Wallace Stegner no living American has so distinguished himself in both fiction and history. Peter Matthiessen is one of the few American writers that could rival Hogan and Stegner as distinguished in both fiction and history. He won the National Book Award in both fiction and nonfiction and wrote histories and natural histories. Needless to say their moms probably deserve some credit for their successes. Here we have from each writer a gesture of love and gratitude that is always a de facto dedication copy.<br /> <br /> But this cluster is also dubbed Mother Nature because she has left her mark on a couple of these books. Two of these books are in fair-to-good condition only but arguably this adds to their gravity. These were cherished family copies that nonetheless began to lose the battle against time and the elements. Peter Matthiessen's Partisans has lost its dust jacket is heavily stained on the FFEP and has been lightly lovingly chewed by insects. It remains readable but it is perhaps best served as an object of reverence with a reading copy near at hand. Paul Horgan's novel is also without its dust jacket perhaps because it was caught in flood and mudslide that devastated the Horgan family home in Albuquerque. This fact is not without resonance considering Horgan's best-known Pulitzer-and Bancroft-winning two volume book the Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History which the New York Times called an unfoldment of life. His most popular novel also was Whitewater about the flooding of a Texas town. Wendell Berry's novel is in very-good-plus shape and fittingly a flood is also part of its narrative only in a positive way: After the book was returned to Berry following his mother's death Berry later donated it to the Pendleton County Public Library to help it rebuild after its collections were lost to a devastating flood. Hoagland's book is in very good shape with only a little waviness to the upper half of the first three pages. Its specially bound in blue leather with marbled pastedowns perhaps a one-of-a-kind copy a gift from the publisher. As far as fitting our watery theme the best that can be said is that its central character is downcast flooded with emotion wandering a seedy hotel at the edge of Harlem. At least three of these books returned to these authors after their parents died itself another reflection of Mother Nature's work. Horgan's the fourth may have been cast out after that mudslide. Together this collection is a moving symbol of the river of time and the recycling of materials that was or is central to these men's environmental writing and ecological ethos. These books well embody Mother Nature. hardcover
