Farmer: A Novel

A novel with a wondrous blend of insight, storytelling, and the authorâ‚¬s uncanny ability to evoke the mysteries and beauties of the natural world

Joseph is a forty-three-year-old farmer-schoolteacher who suddenly finds himself at a crossroads. Forced to choose between two loversâ‚¬"one a tantalizing young student, the other his beautiful childhood friendâ‚¬"he must also decide whether or not to stay on the farm or finally seek the wider, more worldly horizons he has avoided all his life.

Praise for Farmer

â‚¬Å“A quiet triumph . . . Joseph is a man suffocated by everything he loves most in the world; the land and its ghosts, love and friendship, integrity. Yes, it is the old story again. Taking it and make it new as Harrison has done, is a miracle on the order of loaves and fishes. But then so are all good novels.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The Washington Post

â‚¬Å“A sensitive, powerful love story about a man on the cutting edge of life . . . The characters are so real that often my eyes filled up with tears for their plight, their human helplessness.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Richard Brautigan
