~~ back cover

I've always thought I should love reading Wendell Berry. He echoes my thoughts about the earth and my relationship to it, our relationship to it. But most of what I've read before has been difficult to get into, to feel rather than think. The first essay continued that tradition, but then the essays became more personal, less theoretical. And I was seduced at last.

I dare you to read this book. I dare you to read about the destruction of the land and the environment without weeping in pain and shame. I dare you to read Wendell Berry at his passionate, rational best and not be moved, not be changed.

I dare you to read this book. ( )
