Mr. Wendell Berry of Kentucky will be in the Greater D.C. area this week, appearing at the Arlington Central Library Auditorium on Tuesday, May 4 at 7 p.m. His appearance is part of the “Arlington Reads 2010” program, which is devoted to the topic of “Know What You Eat: Food and Sustainability.”
I led a library-sponsored discussion of Berry’s novel The Memory of Old Jack several weeks ago, and based on the enthusiasm and great turn-out of that event, I am confident that Berry’s appearance will generate a great deal of interest, and would advise those who are interested to come early. I suspect the Arlington Library Auditorium will seem a bit cramped before the evening is done.
I’m envious! I’m also more determined than ever to find the time to go up to the Land Institute in Salina this September, to hear Berry speak. He was there about three years ago, and I missed it. I’ve kicked myself ever since.
Oh, Russell … let me know when he might be there again … I’d be willing to make a road trip for that!
