Remembering

A Novel (Port William)

By: Wendell Berry

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

It is 1976 and Andy Catlett, farmer and agricultural journalist, is walking the streets of San Francisco at dawn. In the eight months since losing his right hand to a corn-picking machine, he has also lost himself. Two thousand miles from his home in Kentucky, he begins to remember people, the land, and the comfort of knowing his place intimately. Andy's reveries evoke a membership governed by the principles of humanity and love. Inspiring and eye-opening, Remembering follows Andy's journey out of darkness and into the warm light of community.

Critic reviews

"Berry writes with grace and eloquence of the beauty in handed-down lives." (Publlishers Weekly)

Nostalgic remembering

I love everything written by Wendell Berry—the master storyteller who weaves his stories and characters together from book to book.

Mono

Unfulfilled. Better book than what was read. The guy reading has never been excited by anything on earth. He'd fall asleep at his own funeral...

Incredible

Brilliant use of changing between the seasons and shifting of a character’s life to weave a whole story. Filled with hurt that gives way to healing through the grace of remembering. Well done.

what an insightful book

Truly a delight of a book. The way that the author meanders his way through the life of the man all the while picking out insightful life lessons and powerful metaphors that make one feel at though they are the subject the book is splendid.

Bittersweet

Berry writes abound a pastoral time that is almost gone and its depersonalization of humanity.
