Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Real-Farm, Patricia Tichenor Westfall, 1989, United States, ESSAYS

"...In the end, however, Real-Farm goes beyond a description of the trials and tribulations of farm life to become a philosophical exploration of ways of perception, grounded in immediate daily details...In Real-Farm she writes about the history of windmills, the mythology of snakes, and the development of corn; she explains how to drill a well and ponders what time means to different cultures around the world..."

(E.B., p. 338)
