Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jayber Crow returns to Port William in 1932 as the town barber in the seventh book in the Port William series, armed with questions he cannot answer but must live out-a mystery that may take longer than a lifetime"This is a book about Heaven," says Jayber Crow, "but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell." It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber.Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow's acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty.He began his search as a "pre-ministerial student" at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with "Old Grit," his profound professor of New Testament Greek."You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out-perhaps a little at a time.""And how long is that going to take?""I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.""That could be a long time.""I will tell you a further mystery," he said. "It may take longer."Wendell Berry's clear-sighted depiction of humanity's gifts-love and loss, joy and despair-is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership. This is the story of a man's love for his community and his abiding and unrequited love for Mattie Chatham. Sent to an orphanage at the age of ten, Jayber grows up knowing of loneliness and want. With the flood of 1937 he returns to his native Port William to become the town's barber. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paper Back. Condition: New. Wendell Berry's new novel describes a man who has come to himself, led and redeemed by love, ''so that in the end he may be possessed by something greater, no longer at all belonging to himself.'' We meet him as someone whose experience presents him with only questions having no answers. When he speaks his doubt, his Bible college professor does not calm his fears. ''You cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out -- perhaps a little at a time.'' And so, in time, Jayber becomes the bachelor barber of Port William, Kentucky, just a few miles from his birthplace. He quietly lives out the questions and begins to discover that he indeed no longer belongs only to himself -- that who he is is everybody's business and that he is involved in an economy of love as real as the more mundane one of cutting hair. The inhabitants of Berry's Port William are known to us: they resemble our own neighbors and our own enemies, who make us crazy because they are so different from us, and yet so the same. And, like them, somehow ''we are perfected, beyond time by one another's love, compassion and forgiveness.'' 384 pp.
