I love to find new authors especially when the writers who are wonderful Wendell Berry is not a young man but he is new to me. And he is an excellent writer. My friend Lisa gave me a book, "The Distant Land," which is a book of all his short stories. I keep the book upstairs and every evening I dive into another story. Mr. Berry is a poet and also a novelists along with short stories. He is a wonderful writer and I am thoroughly enjoying his short stories.
I think he is a poet first because he selects his words carefully. His stories are sparse and tight. No extra words or actions. I am enjoying this book. My problem is actually with the small print. But I am managing. I am grateful to Lisa for introducing me to such a fine writer.
