A Fred Will Reader (2 Unabridged edition)

A Fred Will Reader samples the writings of Frederic Will, compiling excerpts of his poetry, travel work, agricultural sociology, short stories and novels, speculative philosophy, and cultural history.

Naming the world, Will says, is at least half of world, the half that gives in to us.

The other half, the world that reading invents, is supplied by the reader.

By reading each other globally, Will argues that we should learn to share ways of reconstructing the often broken totality of the human condition.
