Book Description
Kibler is known for his lyrical and poignant tales of Southern agrarianism and his critical examinations of the modern world. In his latest novel, the same themes are explored in the story of Mister Pink Suber, whose five children have moved away after the death of his wife. Alone, he goes on tending his land and livestock while mentoring his young neighbor and friend in the ways of farming and life. It is his deep love for the land and the sensibilities of Celtic imagination that inform us in Kibler's writing, representing what the Agrarians were telling the South and the nation: a way of life that excludes the spiritual side of existence is disastrous to all phases of life.
From the Back Cover
"In James Everett Kibler we find a member of a quickly diminishing breed: the man of letters." --Randall K. Ivey in Southern Partisan
"Kibler has developed a theme that has long defined both Southern history and literature: the deep, metaphysical connection between the Southern character and temperament and the natural world . . . a graceful articulation of the agrarian vision." --Walter Sullivan
