I read two short stories aloud to my husband and son this weekend: The Hurt Man and Don’t Send a Boy to Do a Man’s Work. After hearing The Hurt Man my husband exclaimed, “That’s some of the best writing I’ve ever heard.” I want to get up in the middle of the night and read more. I want to grab people, stop them in their tracks and make them listen. I want to buy 50 copies and pass them out left and right. I am smitten.
Here are a few phrases which have captured me:
The shape of his hand in printed on the flesh of my thigh as vividly as a birthmark. This man who was my grandfather is present in me, as I felt always his father to be present in him.
At those times she lived in his love as in a spacious house.

Couldn’t agree more. He’s a gem.Diane
I will check out what they have at our local library and report later this week.

BTW I found your *banner quote* mentioned in the introduction of Grant’s cookbook. However, it is not attributed to anyone 😦 After browsing some of his other titles, I’m looking to acquire the one on gardening.

Put me down for one of those 50 copies you’re passing out, ‘kay? ~wink~
My friend is reading a book of his agrarian essays, and keeps marking passages to read aloud to me. I’m going to have to look up some of his shorts.
By the way, I answered your question about Clive Owen on my blog – complete with picture!
Hi Carol, I just finished reading “That Distant Land” I read it becaused of all the reasons you said you liked his writting (about 10 reason). Now I can’t find them on your Blog. Could you tell me where they are? I visit your Blog most everyday and am rejoicing with you about the new babies added to your family. XOXOXO Ernestene

Click on wendellberry and you will find all my posts relating to his writing.Thanks for your kind words. We have such warm memories of our regular Thursday night dinners at your house before we got married. You two are a treasure!
