Crapalachia: A Biography of a Place by Scott McClanahan

4.0

Occasionally very funny. Occasionally very touching. I have really loved everything I have read by Scott McClanahan. I definitely recommend him as an author. This book is a little try-hard on the capital m message it wants the reader to take away, but it really succeeds as a "biography of place." The characters ring true. The world feels honest. The integration of West Virginia history lessons into the narrative is inspired.
