温德尔·贝里于周一在肯塔基州Port Royal的家中去世,享年92岁。1这位肯塔基州出生的作家是一位多产的创作者,出版了40多部作品,通过诗歌、小说和散文讴歌故乡的农业社区,同时批评工业化社会的过度和弊端。1贝里1934年出生于肯塔基州亨利县,后移居纽卡斯尔。1
贝里在创作中对农业工业化提出了批评。1他在1977年发表了著作《The Unsettling of America》,对农业的机械化与集约化进行了尖锐批评。1他的代表作包括小说《Nathan Coulter》和《A Place on Earth》。1早在1958年,贝里获得了斯坦福大学沃勒斯·斯特格纳奖学金。1
贝里的思想对后世产生了深远影响。1他提出的名言"Eating is an agricultural act"(进食是一种农业行为)改变了食品运动倡导者迈克尔·波伦的人生观。1贝里的女儿玛丽·贝里向美联社证实了他的去世。1
Wendell Berry, the prolific Kentucky-born writer who championed agrarian values and critiqued industrial society's excesses, has died at age 92 1. Berry passed away Monday at his home in Port Royal, Kentucky, according to his daughter Mary Berry, who confirmed the death to the Associated Press 1.
Over a decades-long career, Berry published more than 40 books across multiple genres, including novels such as Nathan Coulter and A Place on Earth 1. His 1977 work The Unsettling of America presented a forceful indictment of agricultural mechanization and industrialization 1. Born in Henry County in 1934, Berry later settled in New Castle, Kentucky, where he drew inspiration from rural farming communities 1. His literary output and philosophical stance profoundly influenced subsequent intellectuals and activists in the food movement; prominent food writer Michael Pollan credited Berry's assertion that "eating is an agricultural act" with transforming his worldview 1.
