Sinopse
"A born storyteller springs from the soil in farmer Dan's virtuoso book of personal essays. This author is the new American master of nature writing." (Daniel Klein, New York Times best-selling author of Plato and a Platypus walk into a Bar)
There's an old joke about farming that is as appropriate today as it was when first told. "How do you make a small fortune in farming? You start out with a large one." Dan didn't start out with a large fortune, but he had a great deal of determination. Taft Farms, Inc. started with a five-year-old boy on the front lawn selling a few veggies under a beach umbrella.
Green is a collection of short stories covering a 70-year span, from childhood events to adulthood lessons, and the formation of Taft Farms, all of which have shaped Dan's life, on the land and elsewhere. Read by the author, this easy-to-listen-to collection of stories is the perfect gift for Dad. The audiobook includes a bonus story exclusively for Audible and is followed by a very special interview in which the author sits down with producer Alison Larkin and, in a world gone mad, talks about the simple things that really matter.
Resumo da Crítica
"Dan Tawczynski delivers his own memoir of his life as a farmer with energy and pathos. Like many farmers, he had to moonlight to make ends meet; he was a teacher in addition to his work with the soil. Beginning with his youth, he recounts numerous incidents over some seven decades of farming and life. Especially moving is a note he shares from one of his former students. Tawczynski is not a polished narrator, but he is an excellent communicator. His pacing, intonation, expression, and all other aspects of his delivery are perfect. It's unfortunate that so many now find life on a farm to be something foreign, for there must be some reason why those who do work the land seem to stick with it, as Tawczynski has done."
