We’ve got to include at least one Wendell Berry book here! Berry’s many works of fiction and non-fiction explore themes of community, identity, memory, and the land. Berry cherishes an affection for small places that resists sentimentalism and recognizes the ever-present challenges. In this beautiful and moving novel, Berry tells the story of Jayber Crow, who becomes the bachelor-barber of Port William, Kentucky. We witness the development of Jayber’s deep and long belonging to the Port William community.
