The Mutuality of Country People

We're more alike than we are different. That can sound like a platitude in the wrong hands, dangerously close to "I don't see color."

But spun out over the course of a winding conversation between Crystal Wilkinson and her guest, Wendell Berry, it becomes a nuanced exploration of the language, experience, struggle and heritage of being a Kentucky writer.

"You and I are probably as opposite as people can get," Berry says. "We're not supposed to have things in common, but we do."

In our season finale, recorded live at the 41st annual Kentucky Book Festival, we invite you to come along as two Kentucky writers connect and uplift each other, the craft of writing, and the commonwealth that made them both what they are.
