Wendell Berry's Port Williams series is pure genius. He has built the community & it's history from post-reconstruction to present day.
In he deals heavily with what it means to be in community w/ one another and our place, and illustrates many of the unfortunate side effects of the modern & post-modern culture of disconnectedness.
The man loves life, the creation, marriage, and other conservative institutions and beautifully illiterates how deeply counter-cultural it is to be devoted to them.
