Het varken aarde

Berger’s detailed depiction of agricultural life feels both poetic and stark. Did anyone else feel it offered a fresh perspective on the connection between land and identity?

Berger’s writing is so evocative—I'm curious what motivated him to explore these themes through this story and setting.

The pacing and style seem rooted in a slower, more meditative approach. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to mirror rural life or a personal signature.
