**Reissued as part of Counterpoint's celebration of beloved American
author Wendell Berry, the five stories in Fidelity return readers to
Berry's fictional town of Port William, Kentucky, and the familiar
characters who form a tight-knit community within.
**
"Berry richly evokes Port William's farmlands and hamlets, and his
characters are fiercely individual, yet mutually protective in
everything they do. . . . His sentences are exquisitely constructed,
suggesting the cyclic rhythms of his agrarian world." --The New York
Times Book Review
"Each of these elegant stories spans the twentieth century and reveals
the profound interconnectedness of the farmers and their families to one
another, to their past and to the landscape they inhabit." --The San
Francisco Chronicle
"Visionary . . . rooted in a deep concern for nature and the land, . . .
[these stories are] tough, relentless and clear. In a roundabout way
they are confrontational because they ask basic questions about men and
women, violence, work and loyalty." --Hans Ostrom, The Morning News
Tribune
