| Abstract | '"For more than sixty years, Wendell Berry has invited readers to Port William, Kentucky, a fictional setting that rivals Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, as the most richly imagined place in American literature. Library of America presents Berry's career-spanning masterpiece of storytelling for the first time as a single chronological narrative. This second volume gathers twenty-three stories and two novels that chronicle the lives of the Port William Membership from 1945 to 1978."--Dust jacket. |
