In the newest novel in the Port William series, Wendell Berry’s beloved protagonist Andy Catlett tells the inspiring story of his grandfather Marce Catlett to his own children and grandchildren, and gives them a key to their place on the questionably settled land they all love
The power and depth of this story–and of the many stories within the history of the Port William Membership–resonate with love, kindness, and the held memory of family and community. In Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story, celebrated author Wendell Berry brings to life a tale that devoted readers of the series will cherish. This moving novel is a testament to the goodwill that lives within the human heart and a stirring reminder that standing up for what we believe in is always a cause worth fighting for.
Wendell Berry is one of our authors of the year and we are so happy to revisit the beloved town of Port Williams once again. Come for an informal book discussion on MARCE CATLETT, Port Williams, and Wendell Berry in general.
