Since Berry refuses to own a computer, and has widely (and trenchantly) written about the negative repercussions of technology, there is almost a note of friction simply by covering him in such a technological medium. Nonetheless, it's time to talk about him because he just released a new title, <span style="font-style:italic;">Andy Catlett: Early Travels</span>, his sixth novel set in Port Williams.<br /><br />I've read little of Berry's fiction, but a lot of his essays, and I have to say I enjoyed his essays more. Since I was introduced to him by way of his essays, it was interesting to read his fiction later and see his ideas of the world embodied in concrete stories. As far as his essays, I've spent a few years teaching various essays of his, especially <a href="http://www.crosscurrents.org/berryspring2003.htm">Feminism, the Body, and the Machine</a>, and students either see him as visionary or moronic, both reactions that mean he's imprinted himself on them.<br /><br />Berry has been claimed, to some degree, by the Christian community as a writer of their own, because of his familiarity with Christian culture and knowledge of the Bible, but I think he stands a bit outside the Christian camp. What I mean is that he utters a rather prophetic message, or at least the best we can get in these days. As a prophet, he doesn't fit into neat societal grooves. A prophet is always a loner. Despite his religious convictions, or rather because of them, he's had no problem vilifying the Christian community for their complacence in permitting and even condoning environmental degradation. On that note, the richness and complexity of his view of the world is refreshing, albeit uncomfortably challenging. We all need to be challenged though, as iron sharpens iron. Berry's done that for me.<br /><br />If you're new to Wendell Berry, I would suggest starting with this collection of his essays: <a href="http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?isbn=1593760078&atch=r">The Art of the Commonplace</a><br /><br />There aren't many reviews online that I've found of Andy Catlett (readers - any suggestions?) but here's a link to a brief <a href="http://www.brtom.org/wb/berry.html">synopsis</a>.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a rel='tag' href="http://bookfox.blogspot.com/search/label/Wendell%20Berry">Wendell Berry</a></p>

<p>I came over from Semicolon. Wendell Berry is new to me, and I must admit I'm quite intrigued. I just purchased his collection of short stories and three of the Port William novels. They are my gift to myself for the week after Christmas.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip to start at the Art of the Commonplace. I will pursue that, along with the Gift of Good Land, which my former Latin teacher recommended. <br /><br />As I read I will be pondering your "prophet" paragraph and the connection between Berry and the Christian community.</p>

<p>I too came over from semicolon. I knew Berry had a new book out, but haven't read Andy Catlett yet. I'm sure I will as I've read almost all his fiction as well as a lot of his essays and some of his poetry. Thanks for your tips on reading Berry, for one of the collection of essays I haven't read is THE ART OF THE COMMONPLACE and I wonder what I missed!</p>

<p>Fox!<br /><br />You already know I'm a Berry devotee, but I agree with you about his fiction. I've never been able to get too into it, either. <a href="http://ensie.blogspot.com/2005/11/looking-towards-mt-washington-from.html">I did like <i>Jayber Crow</i></a>, though, and sped through it as quickly as I could.<br /><br />And I really agree with you about Berry's prophetic voice, his ability to make me question much that is assumed nonchalantly by society at large is what keeps me coming back again and again to his thoughts, ideas, and convictions.<br /><br />His insights are just <a href="http://ensie.blogspot.com/search?q=the+hidden+wound+slavery">astounding to me</a>. Since <i>Jayber Crow</i> is the only novel of his I've ever been able to read all the way through, I'm going to go ahead and commit to giving this new one you've mentioned a try. I'll let you know how it goes.</p>
