Ebook About A story about dirt--and about sun, water, work, elation, and defeat. And about the sublime pleasure of having a little piece of French land all to oneself to till. Richard Goodman saw the ad in the paper: "SOUTHERN FRANCE: Stone house in Village near Nimes/Avignon/Uzes. 4 BR, 2 baths, fireplace, books, desk, bikes. Perfect for writing, painting, exploring & experiencing la France profonde. $450 mo. plus utilities." And, with his girlfriend, he left New York City to spend a year in Southern France. The village was small--no shops, no gas station, no post office, only a café and a school. St. Sebastien de Caisson was home to farmers and vintners. Every evening Goodman watched the villagers congregate and longed to be a part of their camaraderie. But they weren't interested in him: he was just another American, come to visit and soon to leave. So Goodman laced up his work boots and ventured out into the vineyards to work among them. He met them first as a hired worker, and then as a farmer of his own small plot of land. French Dirt is a love story between a man and his garden. It's about plowing, planting, watering, and tending. It's about cabbage, tomatoes, parsley, and eggplant. Most of all, it's about the growing friendship between an American outsider and a close-knit community of French farmers. "There's a genuine sweetness about the way the cucumbers and tomatoes bridge the divide of nationality."--The New York Times Book Review "One of the most charming, perceptive and subtle books ever written about the French by an American."--San Francisco ChronicleBook French Dirt: The Story of a Garden in the South of France Review :
I absolutely loved this book. I purchased it last summer actually and am just now getting around to writing a review. I often think of this book and the author's gardening adventures. I live in NYC and thoughts of hot French summer days spent toiling in a garden are what relaxes me! The book is well written and the author does a very good job of making his French experience come to life. I would definitely recommend this book. I actually gave my copy to my brother who is an investment banker and needed to chill a bit. He also loved it. Two thumbs up! This is my third time reading FRENCH DIRT. Why so addicted to this beautiful story of Richard Goodman and the garden he planted in a southern French village? Hard to say. Perhaps it is the special meaning one finds in putting down roots, even for just a year, in the dark earth of a new-found place. Or the reaching out in midst of isolation to overcome a sense of loneliness and alienation, something all of us have experienced at times. Could it be the connection between the act of writing and the act of planting? Whatever it is, the urge to re-read this small but incredibly compelling story remains strong within me.One source of that urge has to be my own times of living in another country for short periods--in my case, once for a year, two times for half that time--and imagining for a while that I had come to stay. The American as immigrant, a reversal of the usual flow, the searching for a new identity in an old place. In my case, and in my family's, we too found a symbolic dimension of the experience: skiing in Norway, biking in Denmark, and walking in Portugal. In each case, though not nearly as intensely as Goodman with his garden, we found an entry into the culture. And, in the end, perhaps that is the real reason I am drawn back, time and again, to his book. He never fails to help me better understand that we always need to find ways to cross those boundaries that keep us apart as cultures and individuals. For that, I thank him, one more time.
