Overview
From the war in Iraq to Hurricane Katrina to the political sniping engendered by Supreme Court nominationsācontemporary American society is characterized by divisive anger, profound loss, and danger. Wendell Berry, āthe prophet of rural Americaā (New York Times) and one of the countryās foremost cultural critics, responds with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the free market or free enterprise? What is really involved in our national security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career. āEverything in the book illumines.ā āBooklist
ā[Berryās] poems, novels and essays . . . are probably the most sustained contemporary articulation of Americaās agrarian, Jeffersonian ideal.ā āPublishers Weekly
āWendell Berry is one of those rare individuals who speaks to us always of responsibility, of the individual cultivation of an active and aware participation in the arts of life.ā āThe Bloomsbury Review
