Description
Book Synopsis“[Harrison] knows life in a way that few will admit to, and writes about it in a ribald, vigorous, and intelligent fashion. . . . A national treasure.” —
Chicago TribuneTrade ReviewA quiet triumph . . . Joseph is a man suffocated by everything he loves most in the world: the land and its ghosts, love and friendship, integrity. Yes, it is the old story again. Taking it and making it new, as Harrison has done, is a miracle on the order of the loaves and fishes. But then so are all good novels.”
The Washington PostA beautiful novel.”
The Boston Globe
Farmer is a sensitive, powerful love story about a man on the cutting edge of life . . . The characters are so real that often my eyes filled up with tears for their plight, their human helplessness.”Richard Brautigan
Superb.”
Saturday ReviewIn Harrison’s hand the story is fresh with a gentle intuition.”
