Thirteen More Stories of the Port William Membership

Thirteen new stories of the Port William membership spanning the decades from World War II to the present moment

For those readers of his poetry and inspired by his increasingly vital work as advocate for rational land use and the right-size life, these stories of Wendell Berry's offer entry into the fictional place of value and beauty that is Port William, Kentucky. Berry has said it's taken a lifetime for him to learn to write like an old man, and that's what we have here, stories told with grace and ease and majesty. Wendell Berry is one of our greatest living American authors, writing with the wisdom of maturity and the incandescence that comes of love.

These thirteen new works explore the memory and imagination of Andy Catlett, one of the well-loved central characters of the Port William saga. From 1932 to 2021, these stories span the length of Andy's life, from before the outbreak of the Second World War to the threatened end of rural life in America.

Classic Berry

I really enjoyed getting to know the port William characters at a little better level!

Another great Wendell Berry story

I like everything written by Wendell Berry. You can never go wrong with the master storyteller.

Picture of an old soul

Beautiful. Berry tells stories in a thoughtful manner about a way of life that seems forgotten but is still relevant.
