Présentation de l'éditeur
It is 1976 and Andy Catlett, farmer and agricultural journalist, alone in San Francisco, is walking the streets at dawn. In the eight months since losing his right hand to a corn-picking machine, he has lost his sense of place. The abrasiveness of the city and Andy's critical view of his disfigured body join his acute awareness of the moral disfigurement around him. Two thousand miles from his home in Kentucky, he begins to remember - people, places and the comfort of knowing the land intimately.

Paperback. Etat : Good. A poetic novel of despair, hope, and the redemptive power of work deepens an award-winning author's grand Port Williams literary project. After losing his hand in an accident, Andy Catlett confronts an agronomist whose surreal vision can see only industrial farming. This vision is powerfully contrasted with that of modest Amish farmers content to live outside the pressures brought by capitalist postindustrial progress, and by working the land to keep away the three great evils of boredom, vice, and need. As Andy's perspective filters through his anger over his loss and the harsh city of San Francisco surrounding him, he begins to remember: the people and places that wait 2,000 miles away in his Kentucky home, the comfort he knew as a farmer, and his symbiotic relationship to the soil. Andy laments the modern shift away from the love of the land, even as he begins to accept his own changed relationship to the world. Wendell Berry's continued fascination with the power of memory continues in this treasured novel set in 1976. Berry's] poems, novels and essays . . . are probably the most sustained contemporary articulation of America's agrarian, Jeffersonian ideal. --Publishers Weekly Wendell 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. --The Bloomsbury Review.
