Ebook About “This is a book about Heaven,” says Jayber Crow, “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber.Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow’s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty.He began his search as a “pre–ministerial student” at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with “Old Grit,” his profound professor of New Testament Greek. “You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out—perhaps a little at a time.” “And how long is that going to take?” “I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.” “That could be a long time.” “I will tell you a further mystery,” he said. “It may take longer.”Wendell Berry’s clear–sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts—love and loss, joy and despair—is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership.Book Jayber Crow: A Novel (Port William) Review :
Where to begin with Jayber Crow? I won’t go in to the story because I went in blind and felt it immensely satisfying. I will remark on two things:- As soon as I closed the book I literary said out loud, “Beautiful.” That is the best way to describe Jayber Crow. The entire book is beautiful.- What makes the book beautiful is the way Berry writes. The book is almost a slowly paced, sitting on the porch in rocking chairs conversational style of writing. It felt as if I was sitting listening to my grandfather recount his tales of farming and a previous way of life I’ll never know personally.For me that is all that needs to be said. I was such a refreshing read that I still think on it, sigh (a good sigh of relief from an exhausting world), then smile. Many authors try to be flashy, exciting, action-packed, sexy, or controversial in their works and that isn’t always a bad thing. Wendell Berry is none of these in Jayber Crow (some may argue controversial in some of his other writings). The best thing I can say is it is a refreshing, relaxing, page turning book. I cannot wait to devour more Wendell Berry. The quote I’ll leave you with is long but is soaked with wisdom and a reflection of Berry at his finest.“If you could do it, I suppose, it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line—starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King’s Highway past appropriately named dangers, told, and snares, and finally cross the River of Death and enter the Celestial City. But that is not the way I have one it, so far. I am a pilgrim, but my pilgrimage has been wandering and unmarked. Often what has looked like straight line to me has been a circle or a doubling back. I have been in the Dark Wood of Error any number of times. I have known something of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, but not always in that order. The names of many snares and dangers have been made known to me, but I have seen them only in looking back. Often I have not known where I was going until I was already there. I have had my share of desires and goals, but my life has come to me or I have gone to it mainly by way of mistake and surprises. Often I have received better than I have deserved. Often my fairest hopes have rested on bad mistakes. I am an ignorant pilgrim, crossing a dark valley. And yet for a long time, looking back, I have been unable to shake off the feeling that I have been led—make of that what you will.” p.133 Since I’m among the older crowd, it’s hard for me to relate to many of the young authors of today. Wendell Berry may be an acquired taste, as his books wouldn’t be called Action Packed or full of romance, mystery or intrigue. His books are hard to describe, as they are more about ordinary people living their lives in a small “town” , if you could call it that. Maybe a village would suit more for an explanation. Anyhow, I’ve read several of his books and many take place within this same community , with these same people or the offspring of the same folks. They’re not really done in a serial type format where you must read them in order to keep up with the story. I find these books to be quality writing, focusing on people, personalities and the surrounding views, sights and sounds . It’s like sitting down in a comfortable chair and listening to someone tell you about themselves without a lot of drama. This is my favorite Berry book, although I haven’t found one I didn’t enjoy.
