Description
About the Book
Drawn from three collections of stories and including new work, "That DistantLand" chronicles nearly a century of the Port William community.Book Synopsis
Originally published in 2005, That Distant Land brings together twenty-three stories from the Port William Membership. Arranged in their fictional chronology, the book is not an anthology so much as it is a coherent temporal mapping of this landscape over time, revealing Berry's mastery of decades of the life lived alongside this clutch of interrelated characters bound by affection and followed over generations. This volume combines the stories found in The Wild Birds (1985), Fidelity (1992), and Watch with Me (1994), together with a map and a charting of the complex and interlocking genealogies.Review Quotes
"Berry is an American treasure; this collection belongs in all literary fiction collections."
"Berry is the master of earthy country living seen through the eyes of laconic farmers.... He makes his stories shine with meaning and warmth."
