Horror's Greatest Hits
Tom Roberts asked this question about Where the Crawdads Sing:
Was anyone perplexed by the author’s placement of Asheville, far to the west of NC, within shopping distance of the coast? One family drives to Asheville to buy a bicycle and one man buys his colorful ties there. Yet, the drive to Asheville tales from 5 to 6 hours. This doesn’t detract from the story, but it is quite odd.
Amy The constant Asheville references were distracting to me, too. Couldn't she have looked on a map and seen that Raleigh, Wilmington, and even Charlotte…moreThe constant Asheville references were distracting to me, too. Couldn't she have looked on a map and seen that Raleigh, Wilmington, and even Charlotte are closer? Upon further reflection, I wonder if the author originally wrote the setting of the book as coastal Georgia (where she grew up) and then ended up switching to North Carolina at the suggestion of a publisher or editor. That would explain the constant palmetto references as well.
