"In a rural Kentucky river town, 'Old Jack' Beechum, a retired farmer, sees his life again through the shades of one burnished day in September 1952. Bringing the earthiness of America's past to mind, THE MEMORY OF OLD JACK conveys the truth and integrity of the land and the people who live from it. Through the eyes of one man can be seen the values Americans strive to recapture as we arrive at the next century."

THE MEMORY OF OLD JACK is a slab of rich Americana."--The New York Times Book Review. "Berry draws upon his enormous poetic talent to develop the theme of man's deep attachment to the land. The account of Jack's courtship of his wife is a beautiful piece of writing, and worthy of a place among the best pieces of prose written by American writers of this century."--Library Journal.
