"This is an enjoyable book that, for a brief while, will take
many of its readers home." News-Journal (Mansfield, OH)
" Logsdon] offers warmth and insight.. The simpler life is
within our reach if we will choose it." Booklist
"This is a quiet, reflective work that describes in some detail
the difficulty of developing and maintaining a lifestyle supported
by the land, something easier planned than maintained.... a memoir
of the spiritual path of one escapee." Bloomsbury Review
"Deliciously irreverent, endearingly self-deprecating, full of
good humor, Gene Logsdon s latest work is his personal testament to
home, the retaining of which has been (Carol aside) the passion of
his life." Ohio Ecological Food & Arm Association News
"Gene Logsdon has lived by failing according to most people s
standards of success, and has made a good life. A good book, too. I
like You Can Go Home Again (to name one reason of several) because
it comes from experience. It has to do, not with speculation or
theory or wishful thinking, but with what is possible." Wendell
Berry
"Gene Logsdon demonstrates once again that a combination of
intelligence, scholarship, passion, and fervent patriotism can
equal only one characteristic these days, a contrary mind of a high
order." Wes Jackson, The Land Institute
"In this vigorous memoir of his search for the good life, Gene
Logsdon tells us why America s agrarian values matter to our future
as well as to our past. Living simply, respecting the land, taking
pleasure from the work of our hands, supplying many of our own
needs, acting as neighbors those values have not been lost, they ve
only been displaced, shoved to the margins. And Logsdon shows how
we might draw them back to the center of our lives." Scott Russell
Sanders
Here is a book for everyone who has dreamed about going back to
the land to live a simpler more meaningful life. Gene Logsdon s
story embodies both the frustrations and longing so many of us feel
as we search for our essential selves and a happy harmonious
economic existence. The measure of his courage and contrariness is
that he has been successful. In You Can Go Home Again, he tells us
what motivated him and what success has meant."
