That Distant Land

23 Short Stories

By: Wendell Berry

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

That Distant Land collects 23 stories, interlinked with each other and with the other published "Port William" novels. The stories, arranged in their fictional chronology (from 1888 to almost the present day), become one sustained work, a new novel that spans the entire life and time involved. The range of this book is extraordinary - it offers rest for the weary, hope for the beleaguered, and strength for everyone else.

Excellent

Great narrator, beautiful stories. Highly recommend. Wendell Berry is author worth your time and attention.

Awakening childhood memories

This book took me way back to my earliest memories. Hearing Michael Cramer read the glorious words was like sitting in the presence of my own now deceased great grandparents. A must read for all who love this earth, hold on tightly to old values and claim their community as family. 5 Stars!

Extra Fine!

This collection of stories is incredibly lovely- sometimes laughing, at times crying, often nodding in agreement or recognition.

great driving book

the narrator was EXCELLENT. The stories were warm and engaging... so full of vivid description that you felt as if you must know all the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed!

I love the manner of Wendell’s storytelling

Wendell Berry really knows how to get your attention & hold it all throughout a story—especially in developing the characters and the stories of their lives in Port William. I love everything he has ever written, and each book leaves me wanting more…
