Craig Goodwin, author of the Year of Plenty blog (and forthcoming book), posted today to announce that the MS was finished and has been passed on to the publisher, Sparkhouse Press, "an independent division of Augsburg Fortress Publishers, the publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America."
"The book," writes Goodwin, "shares the story of our experiences in 2008 consuming everything local, used, homegrown and homemade and reflects on the ways that our Christian faith intersects with those experiences." It promises to be "a good introduction to Wendell Berry," something I'm less in need of ever since YoP prompted me to pick up Berry's What Matters? Economics for a Renewed Commonwealth, a book that is presently vying with a collection of high-falutin' critical studies on The Big Lebowski for my reading attention.
In his post, Goodwin mentions that he hopes that the book "will be accessible beyond the Christian/Church market." If it maintains the style of his blog posts, it seems to me that it'll be as catholic — small "c" — as anything by Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, or indeed Wendell Berry. It's scheduled to appear on shelves (and perhaps Kindles and iPads too?) in March 2011.
