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.
Lynn The Asheville 'shopping experience' was SO CONFUSING especially that it was mentioned more than once and there are easily a dozen NC cities and towns …moreThe Asheville 'shopping experience' was SO CONFUSING especially that it was mentioned more than once and there are easily a dozen NC cities and towns closer (of similar or larger size than Asheville plus many more smaller where you could certainly buy a bike...or ties)

Even in 2019, you're lucky to get to the NC coast in six hours. I've lived in Asheville and on the coast and never thought of the other as a shopping trip

I just read the book and came to mother google to see if the author had commented the Asheville weirdness. Found you first(less)
