Review
In The Land Remembers Ben Logan is strikingly successful in recalling his own boyhood world, a lonely ridge farm in southwestern Wisconsin . . . he reviews his growing-up years in the 1920s and 30s less with nostalgia than with a naturalist s eye for detail, wary of the distortions of memory and sentiment. --The Christian Science Monitor
Reading Logan s memoir is like a refreshing vacation from the demands and problems of modern life. A book to be cherished and remembered. --Publisher's Weekly
What drew me so irresistibly through The Land Remembers?. . . How can you feel nostalgia for things that never happened to you? How can you miss people just as you re meeting them for the first time?. . . You feel nostalgia when the details of a world are so precisely concrete and right that by the time the author tells you his own reactions to that world you feel you already know it just about as well as he does. . . . It s not nostalgia for my own past that The Land Remembers made me feel; it s nostalgia for a world he makes me wish I'd known. --The New York Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
A Chapter A Day selection from Wisconsin Public Radio read by Karl Schidt. Abridged 5 CD set. This is a story about a farm and its people, of a hilltop world in the 1930s in southwestern Wisconsin. Ben Logan grew up on a farm with his three brothers, father, mother, and farmhand Lyle, the fifth Logan boy, and marked the seasons by the demands of the land. The boys discussed and argued and joked over the events around their hilltop farm, testing each other and themselves as they learned the lessons of the farm and growing up. This beautiful story is now reunited with a never-before published Afterword that traces the land to an earlier time and brings the story full-circle to the farm and its people. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
