Originally published in 2005,That Distant Landbrings together twenty-three stories from the Port William Membership. Arranged in their fictional chronology, the book is not an anthology so much as it is a coherent temporal mapping of this landscape over time, revealing Berrys mastery of decades of the life lived alongside this clutch of interrelated characters bound by affection and followed over generations.

This volume combines the stories found inThe Wild Birds(1985),Fidelity(1992), andWatch with Me(1994), together with a map and a charting of the complex and interlocking genealogies.

Drawn from three collections of stories and including new work,That Distant Landextends over nearly a century of Berry's Port William community. With 23 stories from the author's Port William membership, this book is arranged in its fictional chronology, and it shines forth as a single sustained work.That Distant Landtruly reveals Wendell Berry—award-winning essayist, novelist, and poet—as a literary master.
