That Distant Land: The Collected Stories

by Wendell Berry

That Distant Land: The Collected Stories Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

That Distant Land includes twenty-three stories from Wendell Berry's Port William membership arranged in their fictional chronology. The book shines forth as a single sustained work, not simply an anthology. It reveals Wendell Berry as a literary master capable of imaginative integrity over decades of writing with a multitude of characters followed over several generations. Combining "The Wild Birds" (1985), "Fidelity" (1992), and "Watch With Me" (1994), and including four never-before-collected stories and a map and genealogy of Port William, this book offers rest for the weary, hope for the beleaguered, and strength for the rest of us.

Synopsis:

Drawn from three collections of stories and including new work, "That DistantLand" chronicles nearly a century of the Port William community.
