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.
Margaret I found the geography as used in the book disturbing to one who knows the Tarheel state well. I've lived in NC for the past 20 years and half of that …moreI found the geography as used in the book disturbing to one who knows the Tarheel state well. I've lived in NC for the past 20 years and half of that time was in the Coastal Plain and on the Coast so Asheville in the story made no sense to me especially in the time before I-40 traversed the state and made east/west travel a little better. Some of the descriptions in the book reminded me more of SC or GA. I loved the story but the locations were distracting to a NC citizen. I could not help but wonder if Ms. Owen has ever been in NC. Perhaps she has and did these things purposefully. (less)
