The Stay at Work HomeWendell Berry, Identity, and Why the Tesla Cyber Truck Really is UglyThe Tesla Cybertruck is an abstraction only at home in dytopian hellscapes, and that's not an accident. It reveals beliefs about the nature of reality, history, and meaning. The literature of Wendell Berry could not be more opposed to it. If you've ever thought that cities of faded old chain restaurants on deteriorating four lane asphalt were depressing, and that the Cybertruck is hideous, you aren't crazy.

SAL/on airWendell BerryPort Royal in Henry County, Kentucky has a population of less than a hundred. And it’s there that farmer, novelist, poet, and cultural critic Wendell Berry—whose family farmed Kentucky land for 7 generations—has been writing for much of his life. With work like The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture, Wendell has functioned as both literary maverick and visionary to Americans for half a century, issuing warnings about industrial farming and the breaking apart of rural communities—concerns that are more immediate than ever.
Back in May 2011, Berry appeared at Benaroya Hall for what he, with his trademark humor, t...

ContemplifyWendell Berry & Gary Snyder are Distant Neighbors | Chad Wriglesworth "In Distant Neighbors, both Berry and Snyder come across as honest and open-hearted explorers. There is an overall sense that they possess a deep and questing wisdom, hard earned through land work, travel, writing, and spiritual exploration. There is no rushing, no hectoring, and no grand gestures between these two, just an ever-deepening inquiry into what makes a good life and how to live it, even in the depths of the machine age." - Orion Magazine Chad Wriglesworth is a professor (at St. Jerome's University), literary critic, book editor and writer.

His challenge to the false call of progress and the American Dream is echoed in the writing of Paul Kingsnorth, whose book Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist eschews the grand narrative of a global green movement to focus on what...
