That Distant Land: The Collected Stories by Wendell Berry
5.0
A terrific set of stories. Each provides a tale that enriches the tapestry of Port William. Many are more somber than the novels I've read, with several telling the story of the passing of several of the main characters from the novels.
My only quibble was arranging them in chronological order of the time each story purportedly took place. I'd prefer to have had them in the order Berry wrote them, for a further glimpse into the evolution of the families and place in his mind.
