Discussion Guide Included

This short story by Irish writer Michael McLaverty looks at the life of an elderly farmer to reveal profound insights on the human condition and the beauty and struggles of the world we inhabit.

Providing us with the details in the life of an elderly farmer plowing his field, McLaverty introduces important universal themes—including work and our relation to it, beauty and suffering, and the transitions of life—and helps us to live deeper within the question of what it all means. The selection is also a good introduction to the transparent yet evocative prose of an under-appreciated twentieth-century master of the short story.
