Description
"Jayber Crow... relates the life story of a young man who abandons his plans to become a minister and becomes the town barber instead...By the end of this melancholy barber has won both our attention and our hearts." -- The New York Times Book Review "This is an important novelist with prophetic things to say and a poetic way of saying them...Jayber Crow is his best novel yet." -- -- Chicago Tribune
Features & Highlights
- "From the simple setting of his own barbershop, Jayber Crow -- orphan, seminarian, and native of Port William -- recalls his life and the life of his community as it spends itself in the middle of the twentieth century. Surrounded by his friends and neighbors, he is both participant and witness as the community attempts to transcend its own decline. And meanwhile, Jayber learns the art of devotion and that a faithful love is its own reward."--Container.
